Patterns of food preparation in children and adult diets and their associations with demographic and socio-economic characteristics, health and nutritional status, physical activit... by Mariana Correia Castro Rei, Daniela Macedo Correia, Duarte Paulo Martins Torres, Carla Maria Moura Lopes, Ana Isabel Almeida Costa, Sara Simões Pereira Rodrigues

“…Noticeably, adults consuming more foods prepared away from home had lower odds of being overweight or obese (OR = 0.74, 95%CI = 0.56, 0.97), but higher odds of sedentarism (OR = 1.45, 95%CI = 1.08, 1.96) and poor diet (OR = 3.01, 95%CI = 2.08, 4.34) compared to those consuming more foods prepared at home by themselves. Dietary patterns marked by high away-from-home food preparation prevail. …”
