Resumo

Objectives: to perform a systematic review of studies that investigated the influence of ultra-processed foods (UPF) consumption during pregnancy on child’s anthropometric para meters up to one year of life.Methods: cohort and cross-sectional studies were researched in BVS, Cinahl, Cochrane,Embase, Pubmed, Scopus and Web of Science databases until March 2020, and the maindescriptors were: “Pregnant Women”, “Ultra-processed foods”, “Birth Weight”, “Small forGestational Age”, “Infant”, “Newborn”.Results: seventeen articles were considered eligible and evaluated the associations between the exposures: ultra-processed dietary patterns; soft drinks, sugar-sweetened beverages, artificially sweetened beverages; fast food, junk food, sweets, snacks and the outcomes: birth weight and its classifications; length and head circumference at birth; birth weight adjustments according to gestational age; weight/age, length/age, body mass index/age and weight/length indices. The results showed: 36 non-significant associations between the exposures and the outcomes; 13 direct associations (outcomes versus ultraprocessed dietary patterns, soft drinks, artificially sweetened beverages, sweets, junk food)and 5 inverse associations (outcomes versus ultra-processed dietary patterns, soft drinks).Conclusions: most of the evaluated literature did not demonstrate the influence of UPFconsumption during pregnancy on the newborn’s anthropometric measurements up to oneyear of life and denoted a smaller number of direct and inverse associations between the exposures and the outcomes.
