Abstract

This study aimed to clarify the association between the frequency of dining out and the risk of obesity, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia among Korean adults. This cross-sectional study surveyed 640 participants aged 20–69 years in Korea. Daily intake of energy, fat, protein, and cholesterol significantly increased as the frequency of dining out increased (P < .001). Energy derived from carbohydrates significantly decreased with the frequency of dining out, while that derived from fat and protein increased (P < .001). Among participants who rarely dined out, the fully adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for hyperglycemia were significantly lower at 0.35 (95% CI, 0.16–0.76). Decreased risk of being hyperglycemia among participants who rarely dined out suggests that the frequency of dining out can be related to diabetes risk.
