Researchers performed a study to quantify highly processed food consumption and to investigate its association with diet quality among Japanese children and adolescents.

Consumption was negatively associated with the intake of healthy foods, such as fruits, vegetables and pulses, and positively associated with the consumption of confectioneries.
