  • The more that a person’s daily calories come from ultra-processed foods, the more likely they are to experience depression long-term, a new study suggests.
  • The association between these foods and depression persisted regardless of sex, body mass index, age, marital status, social living situation, or level of physical activity.
  • Australia’s population gets a high percentage of their daily calories from ultra-processed foods, but residents of the United States and the United Kingdom residents get even more.
