Abstract
This convergence study investigated the differences in obesity, depression, and quality of life of unmarried adults who ate alone. Secondary data from the 7th National Health-Nutrition Survey in Korea was analyzed using the SPSS 24.0 program. We utilized data from 344 unmarried adults who received three meals per day. Our results showed that the rate of eating-alone was higher in the group with participants who were over 30-year-old, belonged to single-person households, and had low incomes. The group which ate alone had high depression scores and low quality of life scores. When developing a health promotion program, it is necessary to manage depression and quality of life of persons who eat alone and belong to single-person households.
