Gen X成年人的超处理食品上瘾率很高,这与健康状况差和过去的营销有关,引起公众的卫生关切。 Gen X adults show high rates of ultra-processed food addiction, linked to poor health and past marketing, raising public health concerns.

密歇根大学的一项研究于2025年9月29日发表,发现目前年龄在50岁和60岁的X代女性和10%的Gen X男子中,21%满足了对诸如快餐和糖饮料等超加工食品的成瘾标准,大大高于年龄较大的婴儿潮患者的成瘾率。 A University of Michigan study published September 29, 2025, finds that 21% of Generation X women and 10% of Gen X men, now in their 50s and 60s, meet criteria for addiction to ultra-processed foods like fast food and sugary drinks—significantly higher than rates in older Baby Boomers. 这项研究以2 000多名成人为基础,将这种依赖与心理健康不良、社会孤立和超重联系起来,专家建议1980年代积极向妇女推销低脂肪和低卡路里加工食品,这也许有所贡献。 The research, based on over 2,000 adults, links this dependence to poor mental health, social isolation, and being overweight, with experts suggesting aggressive 1980s marketing of low-fat and low-calorie processed foods to women may have contributed. 调查结果突出说明了日益增长的公共卫生关切,特别是因为年轻一代消费的超加工食品更多。 The findings highlight growing public health concerns, especially as younger generations consume even more ultra-processed foods.
