The increase in the availability of processed and ultra-processed foods has altered the eating patterns of populations, and these foods constitute an exposure factor for the development of arterial hypertension. This systematic review analyzed evidence of the association between consumption of processed/ultra-processed foods and arterial hypertension in adults and older people. Electronic searches for relevant articles were performed in the PUBMED, EMBASE and LILACS databases. The review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The search of the databases led to the retrieval of 2323 articles, eight of which were included in the review. A positive association was found between the consumption of ultra-processed foods and blood pressure/arterial hypertension, whereas insufficient evidence was found for the association between the consumption of processed foods and arterial hypertension. The results reveal the high consumption of ultra-processed foods in developed and middle-income countries, warning of the health risks of such foods, which have a high energy density and are rich in salt, sugar and fat. The findings underscore the urgent need for the adoption of measures that exert a positive impact on the quality of life of populations, especially those at greater risk, such as adults and older people.
加工食品和超加工食品供应的增加改变了人群的饮食习惯，这些食品成为导致动脉高血压的一个暴露因素。本系统评价分析了成年人和老年人食用加工/超加工食品与动脉高血压之间的关联证据。在 PUBMED、EMBASE 和 LILACS 数据库中进行了相关文章的电子检索。本评价遵循 PRISMA 指南和纽卡斯尔-渥太华量表进行。数据库检索共检索到 2323 篇文章，其中 8 篇被纳入本评价。食用超加工食品与血压/动脉高血压之间存在正相关关系，而食用加工食品与动脉高血压之间的关联则证据不足。结果显示发达国家和中等收入国家超加工食品的高消费量，对这些食品的健康风险提出了警告，这些食品具有高热量密度，且富含盐、糖和脂肪。研究结果强调了采取措施的紧迫性，这些措施对改善人群，尤其是成年人和老年人等高危人群的生活质量将产生积极影响。
