Gender and age differences in weekend eating habits: associations with fat mass percentage in a cross-sectional study
Weekend eating habits represent a distinct and influential factor on body composition, rather than a simple extension of weekday patterns. The results emphasize that gender- and age-specific approaches are crucial in dietary interventions, particularly for younger men and women who maintain structured meal patterns. These results suggest that weekends may be an important period for dietary interventions based on self-reported dietary patterns, with potential implications for gender- and age-specific dietary interventions and broader public health strategies aimed at improving long-term metabolic outcomes.
