Delighted to share my latest PhD publication. Using repeated dietary data from the UK Whitehall II cohort, we developed 10-year trajectories of UPF intake. Special thanks to supervisors @AnnieBritton3 @ClareHLlewellyn & Michail Katsoulis doi.org/10.1186/s12937…

Over 16-19 years of follow-up, sustained high UPF intake was associated with increased risks of non-fatal CVD and CHD but not with CVD-specific, CHD-specific, or all-cause mortality. Special thanks to amazing co-authors @SamuelDickenUK @BrownAdey @TasnimeAkbaraly & Jiahao Liu

For people experiencing homelessness living in temporary accommodation in the UK, they are at 🔼 risk of malnutrition, 🔽 diet quality + mental health, 🔼 food insecurity. Nutrition guidelines in this area are needed. Read more on JHND: doi.org/10.1111/jhn.70… @BrownAdey
