Clinical Practice, revealed that men who ate alone had a 45 percent increased risk for being obese and 64 percent for developing a metabolic syndrome.<\/p>\n<p>These results were after the researchers adjusted for lifestyle factors such as smoking, alcohol use, age and the amount someone worked out per week.<\/p>\n<p>Women in the study were 29 percent more likely to develop a metabolic syndrome if they ate alone twice or more per day.<\/p>\n<p>But this percentage diminished after the researchers adjusted for lifestyle factors.<\/p>\n<p>Previous studies have found that loneliness can increase the chances of someone eating more unhealthy foods.<\/p>\n<p>If someone feels socially isolated, they might turn towards junk food instead of fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>This will impact their health and can increase the likelihood of developing high blood pressure, high cholesterol or prediabetes.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers said in the study that they wanted to analyze the link between loneliness and metabolic disorders since household sizes are getting smaller.<\/p>\n<p>More and more people are living on their own instead of with others.<\/p>\n<p>The proportion of Americans living alone has increased from five percent of the population in 1920 to 27 percent in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>This increase is attributed to people waiting longer to get married and divorce rates going up.<\/p>\n<p>But experts warn that this can lead people to feeling socially isolated and will therefore impact what they eat when they are alone, especially for men.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: -1 updated by: 24 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Friday, 17 November 2017 Source: Graphic.com.gh 2017-11-17 Men who ate alone increased their risk of developing obesity by 45 percent Eating alone can increase your risk of developing a metabolic syndrome such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol, a study claims.
