Abstract
This analysis includes 138,076 participants without a history of CVD between the ages of 35 and 70 y living on 5 continents, with a median
follow-up of 10.2 y. We used country-specific validated food-frequency questionnaires to determine individuals’ food intake. We classified foods and beverages based on the NOVA classification into UPFs. The primary outcome was total mortality (CV and non-CV mortality) and secondary outcomes were incident major cardiovascular events. We calculated hazard ratios using multivariable Cox frailty models and evaluated the association of UPFs with total mortality, CV mortality, non-CV mortality, and major CVD events.
