SUMMARY:

Ultra-processed foods (UPF) have high energy density and have been associated with greater adiposity and risk of developing excess weight at different stages of life. Despite this, little is known about the impact of its consumption during lactation, a phase in which diet quality is important for reducing postpartum weight retention and preventing obesity in adult women. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the association between UPF consumption and the anthropometric profile of lactating women assisted in primary health care in Natal-RN. Socioeconomic and health data, food intake through 24-hour recall, and anthropometric measurements were collected from lactating women who breastfed exclusively or partially, between 30 and 150 days postpartum. Food inatke was assessed by the Nova Classification and the anthropometric profile according to postpartum weight retention (kg), presence of excess weight according to the Body Mass Index (BMI), and measurements of body perimeters (cm) and skinfolds (mm). Participants were grouped according to tertile of energy participation of UPF in the diet (tertile 1-2 x tertile 3). The association between UPA tertiles and anthropometric profile was assessed using linear regression models adjusted for pre-pregnancy BMI, exclusive breastfeeding (EBF), number of postpartum days, gestational weight gain, number of births, and per capita income categorized. The women were on average 28 (7) years old, 68 (42-104) days postpartum, 34.7% had low education, and the majority had low income (82.3%, n=102). The average caloric participation of UPF in the diet was 23.31% (0-76%). Excess weight was present in 66.1% and 40.9% retained more than 4 kg in the postpartum period assessed, with a median retention of 3.0 kg (-0.3-5. 0). After adjusted linear regression analysis, a positive association was found between the greater energy contribution of UPF in the diet and postpartum weight retention (β= 2.86, 95% CI 0.58 – 5.15, p< 0.014). The results showed that a greater participation of UPF in the diet of lactating women was related to postpartum weight retention. For other anthropometric measurements associated with adiposity, pre-pregnancy BMI was the variable with the greatest explanatory power after adjustments, reinforcing the need for actions to reduce UPF consumption from the pre-conception period to lactation.
