Abstract
In the past several decades, many scholars have used broad definitions of the dietary shift from traditional, localised diets to those composed of more ultra-processed foods high in refined carbohydrates, added sodium, added sugar and added saturated fat. Some have focused on increased consumption of edible oils or sugar-sweetened beverages in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC)(1-3). Others have focused on junk foods in regions or across all LMIC(4-7). The latter studies have concentrated more directly on measuring separate components that reflect the Westernisation of the diet.
