Controlling for endogeneity is essential to obtain more precise estimates. <b>Aim:</b> This study estimates the effect of eating out on calorie intake, specifically focusing on dinner among the three daily meals. <b>Methods:</b> The endogenous treatment effect model is employed, utilizing restricted-access data from the 2017 to 2020 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. To aid model identification, daily precipitation is used as an instrumental variable influencing the decision to eat dinner out. <b>Results:</b> Eating dinner out results in an additional intake of 388.39 Kcal compared to eating at home, whereas the model that does not control for the endogeneity estimates a 261 Kcal increase. The increase in calorie intake from eating dinner out varies significantly depending on individual characteristics. <b>Conclusion:</b> Eating out leads to a substantial amount of calorie intake. Managing the frequency of eating out at a reasonable level could play a crucial role in preventing obesity.</p>","PeriodicalId":19352,"journal":{"name":"Nutrition and health","volume":" ","pages":"2601060241297857"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142676253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, many health-related behaviors including eating are concordant in couples indicating they might share an obesity risk or support each other's weight loss efforts. <b>Aim:</b> The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials was to assess the weight change effects of lifestyle interventions targeting couples in a romantic relationship regardless of marital status or sexual preference compared to individuals or no intervention. <b>Methods:</b> Four databases (MEDLINE Ovid, Scopus, CINHAL, and mySearch: EBSCO-Discovery-Service-Tool) were systematically searched from inception until 26^th April 2021 with further email alerts. The risk of bias was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme. Meta-analysis was conducted using the random-effect model to estimate the weighted mean difference with 95% confidence interval. <b>Results:</b> Seventeen studies were eligible for this review and 11 of them were included in the meta-analysis for weight change. Significant intervention effects were identified for body weight in couples' intervention vs. individual intervention (-2.25 kg, 95% CI-3.63 to-0.88), and vs. no intervention (-4.5 kg, 95% CI-6.62 to-2.38). <b>Conclusion:</b> This systematic review and meta-analysis was the first to investigate the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions targeting couples on weight loss, compared to interventions focused on individuals or standard care. The findings suggest that interventions aimed at couples lead to greater weight loss, though the results should be interpreted with caution due to the wide heterogeneity among the studies.
