Abstract:
Objective To investigate the association between out-of-home eating ( OH eating) and overweight/obesity among adults in China.Methods A total of 33 828 subjects aged 18-60 years old from the 2002 China National Nutrition and Health Survey were selected to calculate their daily consumption of food and nutrition, when people eating at home or out-of-home.The 24-hour dietary recall method for 3 consecutive days was used to collect food intake information ( not including the condiment intake) .The logistic regression method was used to analyze the relationship between OH eating and overweight/obesity. Results The prevalence of OH eating among Chinese adults aged 18-60 years old was 28.3% ( 9 562/33 828) in 2002.Overall, the prevalence of OH eating was significantly greater among men compared to women(P<0.05), and the rate for men was 32.4%(5 117/15 805), and the rate for women was 24.7%(4 445/18 023).Besides, men who ate out of home showed a higher prevalence of overweight and obesity than those who ate at home ( P <0.05 ) , and the prevalence of overweight and obesity among them were 38.9%(1 991/5 117) and 31.7%(3 389/10 684), respectively.While women who ate at home showed a higher prevalence of overweight and obesity than those who ate out of home, and the prevalence of overweight and obesity among them were 38.1% ( 5 174/13 571 ) and 35.6% ( 1 581/4 445 ) , respectively.Compared with at-home eating group, 130.4 kJ energy, 12.2 g fat, 6.2 g protein and 67.1 mg sodium were excessively consumed per day for men, and 102.5 kJ energy, 8.6 g fat, 3.4 g protein and 60.6 mg sodium were excessively consumed per day for women.To sum up, OH eating was positively associated with overweight and obesity among men(OR=1.18,95%CI:1.09-1.27), but not among women(OR=0.94,95%CI:0.87-1.01).Conclusion OH eating was positively associated with overweight and obesity among men in China.
