Consumption of ultra-processed products and wheezing respiratory diseases in children: The SENDO project
Goal
Determine whether the consumption of UP in children is associated with wheezing respiratory diseases (asthma or bronchitis/recurrent wheezing).

A high consumption of UP was associated with an increase of 87% in the prevalence of wheezing respiratory diseases. It was found that a higher consumption of UP multiplied by 2.12 the prevalence of bronchitis/recurrent wheezing.
