Abstract: Multiple regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between body fat percentage and the consumption of ultra-processed foods, classified according to the NOVA system and adjusted for other predictor variables, in freshman university adolescents. The adjustment model was developed using various lifestyle factors, such as physical activity, tobacco use, and family history of cardiovascular disease, in addition to ultra-processed food variables. The adjustment model was created using Stata through a series of steps, beginning with exploratory analysis, moving on to univariate analysis, and concluding with stepwise analysis. The resultant model was assessed for interaction, multicollinearity, and linear regression hypotheses. Data from 230 freshman university students enrolled at the Instituto Tecnológico de Sonora (ITSON) were examined.
