*All outcomes were measured at the follow-up visit. Effects are scaled by 10 units
1Models were adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, exercise at follow-up, total energy intake at follow-up, and UPF% at baseline
2Models were adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, exercise at follow-up, total energy intake at follow-up, and UPF%Δ
**Abbreviations: UPF%: percent of diet from ultra-processed foods; UPF%Δ: change in percent of diet from ultra-processed foods between visits; T2D: type 2 diabetes; IFG: impaired fasting glucose; IGT: impaired glucose tolerance
