We analyzed nutritional data of 6719 Korean adults aged 19\u201364 years from the 2013\u20132015 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey using the exploratory factor and hierarchical and k-means cluster analyses. We used multinominal logistic regression to compare factors associated with each dietary pattern. We identified three dietary patterns based on meal preference and dessert type: \u201ctraditional meal with healthy dessert\u201d, \u201cmeal only\u201d, and \u201cunhealthy dessert\u201d (Kaiser\u2013Meyer\u2013Olkin = 0.90, Bartlett\u2019s test of sphericity p &lt; 0.001). The \u201cunhealthy dessert\u201d dietary pattern was more frequent in people living alone (51.7%) than in those living with others (41.8%). Weight control, dining out, eating breakfast, and sleep were significantly associated with the \u201cmeal only\u201d; eating breakfast was associated with the \u201cunhealthy dessert\u201d dietary pattern among those living alone. Lifestyle factors were associated with unhealthy dietary patterns in Korean adults living alone, warranting the need for a healthy diet and promotion of modifiable health behaviors for this subgroup. Thus, clinicians must provide comprehensive assessments and multidimensional interventions while considering lifestyle factors and unhealthy dietary patterns to improve the health status of them.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph17072371","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,31]],"date-time":"2020-03-31T11:36:42Z","timestamp":1585654602000},"page":"2371","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Comparative Study of Dietary Patterns by Living Arrangements: The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 2013\u20132015"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2862-2691","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Namhee","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Nursing, Yonsei University, Seoul 03722, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7191-5134","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Go-Un","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Nursing, Yonsei University, Seoul 03722, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3719-0111","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Heejung","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Nursing, Yonsei University, Seoul 03722, Korea"},{"name":"Mo-Im Kim Nursing Research Institute, Yonsei University, Seoul 03722, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Inter Press Service (2020, January 06).
