Key Points

This research aims to explore the association of ultra-processed foods with hypertriglyceridemic waist, oxidative stress, and inflammation in Iranian adults.
Cross-sectional design assessing dietary intake and health markers among Iranian adults.
Measurement of hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype, oxidative stress biomarkers, and inflammatory markers.
Statistical analyses to determine associations between ultra-processed food consumption and health outcomes.
Higher consumption of ultra-processed foods correlates with an increased prevalence of hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype.
Significant associations found between ultra-processed foods intake and elevated markers of oxidative stress and inflammation.
Findings suggest a potential link between diet quality and metabolic health risks.
