Researchers from the [[https://www.rug.nl/staff/m.duan/|University Medical Center Groningen]] developed the Ultra-processed food (UPF) categorization for adults according to the NOVA classification using the [[ffq_sum_scores|Food Frequency Questionnaire Sum scores]] from the heart of the FFQ flower ([[1a_questionnaire_2|1A Questionnaire 2]]).

- | === Remarks from the researchers === | + | Per category three types of variables have been created: |
- | - The current categorization doesn't specifically handle the Betrouwbaarheid of energy intake (provided in the [[ffq_sum_scores|Food Frequency Questionnaire Sum scores]]). This could be a decision for other researchers using the UPF classification data. | + | * **Classification variable:** which adds up the intake of all food items that belong to the specific category |
+ | * **Intake (nova) weight ratio variable:** which indicates the weight proportion (% grams) of a specific category in the total diet of a day | ||
+ | * **Intake (nova) energy ratio variable:** which which indicates the energy ratio (grams/1000kcal) of a specific category in the total diet of a day | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Remarks from the UMCG researchers === | ||
+ | - The current categorization doesn't specifically handle the reliability of energy intake (provided in the [[ffq_sum_scores|Food Frequency Questionnaire Sum scores]]). This could be a decision for other researchers using the UPF classification data. To make this easier, the reliability variable from the [[ffq_sum_scores|FFQ sum scores]] has been added as variable. | ||
- According to the NOVA classification, some alcohol products should also be characterized as ultra-processed food. However, we did not do this because alcohol may have separate health effects. Therefore, we analyze alcohol intake always as a separate covariate. This is also practiced by other papers from other cohorts. | - According to the NOVA classification, some alcohol products should also be characterized as ultra-processed food.

- | - Additional calculations can be made. However, since there is no "golden standard" the researchers leave this up to the interpretation of users. Examples of additional calculations: high sugar content-ultra-processed food, Glycemic Index food, and quartiles/quintiles. | + | |
