Childhood Nutrition and Behavior: How Ultra-Processed Food Consumption Influences Childhood Impulsivity as Moderated by Food Security.

Andrew Schiller

As awareness around ultra-processed foods rises, this research looks at consumption of ultra-processed foods and its relationship with impulsivity scores in children aged 7-11 years old. We also assess whether the relationship between ultra-processed food consumption and impulsivity is influenced by the child’s food insecurity levels. Ultimately, we ask how childhood nutrition and behavior are connected and how stress and BMI fit into this relationship.
