However, an association between periodontitis and dietary patterns has not been explored. Therefore, this study investigated the association between periodontitis and food consumption among a Southern Brazil population. Data from the 1982 Pelotas Birth Cohort were used (n = 537). The exposure, periodontitis, was clinically measured and classified using the AAP\/CDC system, then two latent variables were defined: \u2018initial\u2019 and \u2018moderate\/severe\u2019 periodontitis. The consumption of in natura, processed, and ultra-processed foods (NOVA classification) was the outcome and measured in calories using the food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Confounders were sex, maternal education, smoking status, xerostomia, and halitosis. Data were analyzed by structural equation modeling. \u2018Initial\u2019 periodontitis was associated with a higher consumption of in natura food (standardized coefficient (SC) 0.102; p-value = 0.040), versus processed (SC 0.078; p-value = 0.129) and ultra-processed (SC 0.043; p-value = 0.400) foods. \u2018Moderate\/severe\u2019 periodontitis was associated with higher consumption of ultra-processed foods (SC 0.108; p-value = 0.024), versus processed (SC 0.093; p-value = 0.053) and in natura (SC 0.014; p-value = 0.762) foods. \u2018Moderate\/severe\u2019 periodontitis appears to be associated with the consumption of processed and ultra-processed foods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu14183735","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,13]],"date-time":"2022-09-13T04:05:41Z","timestamp":1663041941000},"page":"3735","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Periodontitis Is Associated with Consumption of Processed and Ultra-Processed Foods: Findings from a Population-Based Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2976-1386","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luisa Schertel","family":"Cassiano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Section for Periodontology, Department of Dentistry and Oral Health, Aarhus University, 8000 Aarhus, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8329-2808","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marco A.","family":"Peres","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Dental Research Institute Singapore, National Dental Centre Singapore, Singapore 168938, Singapore"},{"name":"Oral Health ACP, Health Services and Systems Research Programme, Duke-NUS Medical School, Singapore 168938, Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jana\u00edna V.
