Research: People who eat alone have greater risk of being overweight - UPI

People who eat alone are more likely to be overweight due to an unbalanced diet, according to a research.

Researchers at Yonsei University's College of Medicine found that adults in their 20s and 30s who eat alone have a higher Body Mass Index (BMI), a measure of body fat based on height and weight, Yonhap News reported.

The research team examined a total of 13,303 participants aged 20 and over between 2013 and 2015 for the link between eating alone and weight gain. They found that participants who eat dinner alone weigh 1.2 kilograms (2.6 pounds) more on average than those who eat with others. Solo diners also have a higher BIM by 0.39 on average.
