SUMMARY:

Ultra-processed foods contain higher energy density when compared to in natura foods, and their consumption has been intensified worldwide, including among people living in social vulnerability. The higher consumption of these foods predisposes to obesity. Within this perspective, this study was developed to analyze the relationship between the consumption of ultra-processed foods and obesity in women living in social vulnerability. For this, a literature review chapter was written that addresses the panorama of obesity today, pointing out the Brazilian and global context and the causes related to its development, with emphasis on the consumption of ultra-processed foods. In the scientific article “Ultra-processed food consumption and its relationship with obesity in women living in socially vulnerable situations in Maceió-Alagoas”. The results found indicated that women who were in the highest tertile of UPF consumption were more likely to be obese (OR [95%CI]:1.29[1.01, 1.66]). Women in the middle tertile (OR [95%CI]:1.33[1.01, 1.77]) and higher (OR [95%CI]: 1.34[1.01, 1.78]) were more likely to have abdominal obesity. In this way, it is important to emphasize that public policies aimed at raising awareness and reducing the consumption of these foods can help to control the worsening and increase of obesity in our country. In addition, actions can be traced to promote healthy eating in communities, promoting health, sustainability, and inclusion in food systems.
