Their consumption is socially patterned, with higher intakes frequently observed among children from socioeconomically disadvantage families, highlighting a critical dimension of dietary inequality. International migration is another major social determinant of familial diet; however, few studies have examined how migration-related characteristics is associated with children\u2019s UPF consumption in Portugal. This study assessed the association between migration-related characteristics, namely parental nationality and whether the child had always lived in Portugal, and UPF consumption among young children. Cross-sectional analysis of data from the prospective ScreenHealth cohort (5.6 \u00b1 1.0-year-old children;\u00a0<em>n<\/em>\u00a0= 682; 52.1% male) included information on migration status, dietary intake, and covariates (age, parental education). Children with two foreign parents or who had not always lived in Portugal showed higher odds of consuming several UPF items. These associations were only partially attenuated after adjustment for socioeconomic indicators like parental education. Findings are descriptive and should be interpreted with caution, particularly given the small sample sizes of some immigrant subgroups and the cross-sectional design, but they provide novel insights into early-life dietary patterns and highlight population groups that may be differentially exposed to UPF-rich food environments during early childhood.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_69e126e041530\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row\"  style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; \"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\" data-bg-animation=\"none\" data-bg-animation-delay=\"\" data-bg-overlay=\"false\"><div class=\"inner-wrap row-bg-layer\" ><div class=\"row-bg viewport-desktop\"  style=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12 col span_12 dark left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone\"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"divider-wrap\" data-alignment=\"default\"><div style=\"height: 50px;\" class=\"divider\"><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_69e126e0422a4\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row\"  style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; \"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\" data-bg-animation=\"none\" data-bg-animation-delay=\"\" data-bg-overlay=\"false\"><div class=\"inner-wrap row-bg-layer\" ><div class=\"row-bg viewport-desktop\"  style=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12 col span_12 dark left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone\"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t<p>Link:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/foods15040765\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/foods15040765&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1776329185393000&amp;usg=AOvVaw05HJhsT-Frhv191R8ue0s8\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/foods15040765<\/a><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Autores:\u00a0Josep A Tur, Aristides Machado-Rodrigues, Daniela Rodrigues Foods\u00a02026; 15(4): 765.
