Ultra-Processed Food Consumption and Relation with Diet Quality and Mediterranean Diet in Southern Italy.

Concerning micronutrients, some plant-derived vitamins, such as vitamin A and vitamin C showed an inverse trend toward increasing shares of UPF consumption, while others, such as vitamin E, vitamin D, and vitamin B12 showed a linear increasing trend; also mineral intake was significantly differently distributed across quintiles of dietary shares of UPF consumption, although sodium intake resulted in an increased trend toward higher intakes of UPFs, while potassium intake tended to decrease, although not with a clear trend over categories ( Table 3 ).
