Abstract

Background: Mental health problems are increasing among adolescents. One modifiable risk factor is diet, particularly the consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF), which is notably high in this age group. Objective: This narrative review aims to summarize recent scientific evidence on the association between UPF consumption and the risk of mental health problems in adolescents. Methods: A literature search was conducted using two major databases (Google Scholar and PubMed) with the keywords (“ultra-processed food” OR “UPF”) AND (“adolescents” OR “teenagers” OR “youth”) AND (“depression” OR “anxiety” OR “mental health issues”). After a selection process involving title, abstract, and full-text screening, 11 articles were included in the narrative analysis, which involved identifying patterns, similarities, differences, and links between UPF consumption and adolescent mental health outcomes. Results: Most studies showed that high UPF consumption is associated with an increased risk of mental health issues among adolescents, including depression, anxiety, anxiety-induced sleep disturbance, internalizing and externalizing symptoms, and reduced quality of life. Some studies reported varying results based on gender, assessment tools, and population characteristics. Conclusion: High consumption of UPF may be a potential risk factor for mental health problems in adolescents. Nutrition education and policies limiting UPF intake should be considered as part of preventive and promotive strategies for adolescent mental health. Further longitudinal and interventional studies are needed to strengthen causal evidence and evaluate the effectiveness of preventive efforts.

Abstract

Adolescents represent a population highly vulnerable to psychological and nutritional challenges. Global reports indicated that more adolescents experience mental health problems and national surveys showing rising concerns related to stress, body image, and unhealthy dietary habits. Academic pressure, peer dynamics, and widespread exposure to idealized body standards on social media further contribute to negative body image, increased stress levels, and poor eating behaviors. This community service program aimed to enhance students’ knowledge and awareness regarding body image, stress, and nutritional status through a structured school-based educational intervention. The activity was conducted at SMPN 14 Pauh, Padang City, involving 53 students. A pre–post intervention design was implemented, utilizing interactive presentations, participatory discussions, and brief ice-breaking activities, followed by pre-test and post-test assessments to measure changes in knowledge. A satisfaction survey was also administered to evaluate students’ perceptions of the session. The results demonstrated a significant increase in students’ knowledge scores after the educational session (p<0.001), with the highest improvement in questions related to body image and nutritional status. More than 90% of students expressed satisfaction with the materials, delivery methods, and the program’s relevance to their daily lives. These findings indicate that a short, targeted school-based intervention can effectively improve adolescents’ literacy in nutrition and mental well-being. Strengthening continuous programs through school health units and curricular integration is recommended to ensure sustained benefits and long-term impact on adolescent health.
