Despite the transcendence of improving habits, few interventions report their contribution to decreasing adiposity. Methods: This cohort enrolled children and teens of any gender, 8\u201318 years old, and with a body mass index (BMI) z-score of \u22651 into \u201cSacbe\u201d, a comprehensive program to identify which eating habits could reduce BMI z-score. The sample size calculated was 110 participants. We recorded anthropometric measures, clinical history, and habits. A clinically relevant reduction in BMI z-score was defined as \u22650.5 over 12 months or its equivalent according to the months of follow-up. Results: 58.2% were female, the median age was 12 years (range: 9.1\u201314.7), and the mean BMI z-score was 2.30 \u00b1 0.83. The 82.7% achieved a reduced BMI z-score but 41.8% achieved a clinically relevant reduction with a median follow-up of 6.7 months. Eating out less than once per week was associated with this outcome, even after adjusting for energy intake, other eating patterns, sedentary screen time, physical activity, sleep duration, and sitting time (HR 2.12; 95% CI: 1.07\u20134.21). Conclusions: Eating out &lt; once\/week implicates less processed food exposition and better quality of food; this habit could be the most effective to reduce childhood adiposity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu16172899","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,30]],"date-time":"2024-08-30T06:46:29Z","timestamp":1725000389000},"page":"2899","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Reducing the Number of Times Eating Out Helps to Decrease Adiposity (Overweight\/Obesity) in Children"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Arturo","family":"Parra-Solano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Coordinaci\u00f3n de Nutrici\u00f3n y Bioprogramaci\u00f3n, Instituto Nacional de Perinatolog\u00eda, Mexico City 11000, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Minerva","family":"Hern\u00e1ndez-Flores","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Coordinaci\u00f3n de Nutrici\u00f3n y Bioprogramaci\u00f3n, Instituto Nacional de Perinatolog\u00eda, Mexico City 11000, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bernarda","family":"S\u00e1nchez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Coordinaci\u00f3n de Nutrici\u00f3n y Bioprogramaci\u00f3n, Instituto Nacional de Perinatolog\u00eda, Mexico City 11000, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4476-0039","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carolina","family":"Paredes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Coordinaci\u00f3n de Nutrici\u00f3n y Bioprogramaci\u00f3n, Instituto Nacional de Perinatolog\u00eda, Mexico City 11000, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luis","family":"Monroy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Coordinaci\u00f3n de Nutrici\u00f3n y Bioprogramaci\u00f3n, Instituto Nacional de Perinatolog\u00eda, Mexico City 11000, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Florinda","family":"Palacios","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Coordinaci\u00f3n de Nutrici\u00f3n y Bioprogramaci\u00f3n, Instituto Nacional de Perinatolog\u00eda, Mexico City 11000, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Almaguer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Coordinaci\u00f3n de Nutrici\u00f3n y Bioprogramaci\u00f3n, Instituto Nacional de Perinatolog\u00eda, Mexico City 11000, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ana","family":"Rodriguez-Ventura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Coordinaci\u00f3n de Nutrici\u00f3n y Bioprogramaci\u00f3n, Instituto Nacional de Perinatolog\u00eda, Mexico City 11000, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"372","DOI":"10.4158\/EP161688.PS","article-title":"Adiposity-based chronic disease as a new diagnostic term: American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists and the American College of Endocrinology Position","volume":"23","author":"Mechanick","year":"2016","journal-title":"Endocr.
