Married men three times more likely to be obese than unmarried men, says study

I'd also like to see if they controlled for age. I'm currently on my phone so I'm not when going to bother hunting down the study.

The news piece doesn't appear to link to any published study. They do mention that the findings will be presented so perhaps a peer-reviewed publication will follow too? -

Basically the rule among the average Balkan slavs, across sexes.

As a single man I'd skip meals without even realizing, but now we plan meals together and if I don't say anything she will, so I don't miss many meals now

Is this correlation related to marriage specifically or can it also be observed in long-term, stable, cohabiting relationships?
In either case, what does this suggest?wrote on 13 Mar 2025, 21:15 last edited byAnecdotally: I gained 50 pounds when my fiancé moved in, because like another comment said I stopped skipping meals like I did when I lived alone.

Yeah, this is currently my problem. We don’t have anyone to help take care of the children. I cannot exercise if I don’t wake up at like 4am (all the gums are closed) and ride my bike. This takes a toll on me however.

As soon as my partner started cooking all our meals I gained weight. When it was just my lazy ass feeding me, I ate simple things like a sandwich, noodles, or a microwave meal. I have no idea what she puts in the food (it's delicious) but the caloric intake is higher than when I was feeding myself.

Likely because most men suck at cooking, and most women are expected to cook. So it's basically from "I'm eating to survive" into "I'm eating tasty stuff".
When I was engaged there was some odd reversal of that, my then fiancée complaining about gaining weight. Because guess what, she went from eating what her anosmic mum prepared to what some wog prepared. And c'mon, food is a biiiig deal for us wogs.

I don't know why, but I find this typo hilarious.

"okay cool English specific term for darker colored foreigner ethnicity people but apparently its a derogatory racial slur so why would someone identify themselves as one?"
Serious question by the way, is that like your cultures version of "we've appropriated a word you used to insult our kind and now pridefully incorporate it as a positive association into our minority culture and theres nothing you racist squares can do about it" or am I missing something?

It is only three times more, because they count the unmarried men in relationship. Versus single men i bet the probability is >x10.
