“…Additionally, half of the adolescents consumed products from no more than two of the target food groups together during both the recall days. Similar results were reported in a Dutch study (10) and in Spanish children and adolescents (12) . Sex differences in breakfast consumption have been reported in other studies (1,13) ; however, we found no differences between boys and girls in either frequency of breakfast consumption or breakfast quality.…”

“…Younger adolescents were also more likely to drink 'other milk products' and less likely to consume 'tea and coffee', 'water' or 'added sugar' in comparison to older adolescents. This is in contrast to Raaijmakers et al who showed that higher consumption from the liquid group was more common among older adolescents (10) .…”

“…Aranceta et al reported similar results in Spanish adolescents (12) . Other authors have also shown that younger European adolescents consume breakfast more often than their older counterparts (1,10,13) . More autonomy and independence in regard to food choices among older adolescents could explain the age decline in breakfast consumption (25) .…”

Objective: To describe breakfast habits at food group level in European adolescents and to investigate the associations between these habits and sociodemographic factors. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Secondary schools from nine European cities participating in the HELENA (Healthy Lifestyle in Europe by Nutrition in Adolescence) Study. Breakfast habits were assessed twice using a computer-based 24 h dietary recall. Adolescents who consumed breakfast on at least one recall day were classified as 'breakfast consumers' and adolescents who did not have anything for breakfast on either of the two recall days were considered 'breakfast skippers'. A 'breakfast quality index' to describe breakfast quality was created based on the consumption or nonconsumption of cereals/cereal products, dairy products and fruits/vegetables. The sociodemographic factors studied were sex, age, region of Europe, maternal and paternal education, family structure and family affluence. Subjects: Adolescents (n 2672, 53 % girls) aged 12-17 years. Results: The majority of the adolescents reported a breakfast that scored poorly on the breakfast quality index. Older adolescents, adolescents from the southern part of Europe and adolescents from families with low socio-economic status were more likely to consume a low-quality breakfast. Conclusions: The study highlights the need to promote the consumption of a highquality breakfast among adolescents, particularly in older adolescents, adolescents from southern Europe and adolescents from families with low socio-economic status, in order to improve public health. Keywords Food groups Dietary habits Socio-economic TeenagerBreakfast consumption is an important part of a healthy lifestyle (1) . Regular breakfast consumption among adolescents has been associated with better diet quality (2-4) , better cognitive performance (5) and reduced risk of becoming overweight or obese (6) . Nevertheless, breakfast skipping is a common behaviour among European adolescents, with a prevalence ranging from 3 % (7) to 34 % (1) .

“…Regular consumption of breakfast is associated with a range of benefits in children and adolescents including more adequate intakes of macro and micronutrients [2,3]; lower body mass index (BMI) [4]); higher cognitive performance [5,6]; and better levels of well-being [7] and quality of life [8]. Breakfast consumption among children and adolescents has shown to induce changes in metabolism, leading to improved diet quality and better food choices which may impact favorably on adolescents’ well-being and healthy habits throughout life, especially during early development [9,10]. Standard nutritional recommendations suggest that an ideal breakfast meal should contain 20 to 35% of daily energy derived from three food groups, including milk and milk derivatives, cereals (unrefined and whole grain) and fresh fruit or juice without added sugar [9].…”

This study examined the associations between eating or skipping breakfast and the quality of breakfast eaten on health-related quality of life (HRQOL), perceived stress and depression in 527 Spanish adolescents. Results showed differences in stress and two domains of HRQOL; Moods and Emotions and Parent Relations and Home Life between adolescent breakfast skippers and eaters, those having breakfast showing higher levels of stress and poor HRQOL. When breakfast quality was analyzed in breakfast eaters, adolescents who ate a good quality breakfast showed better HRQOL and lower levels of stress and depression than those who ate a poor or very poor quality breakfast. Further, breakfast skippers showed better HRQOL and lower levels of stress and depression than breakfast eaters who ate a poor or very poor quality breakfast. These findings indicate the importance of eating a good quality breakfast, rather than just having or not having breakfast. The conclusions of the present study are especially relevant for clinicians and nutritional educators, given the significant impact of breakfast quality on health-related quality of life, stress and depression observed in the adolescents studied.

“…Another recommendation comes from Netherlands Nutrition Centre (NNC), stated that healthy breakfast should provide about 15% of the age-specific daily recommended energy intake, a maximum of 9% of energy of saturated fat, and a minimum of 1.4 g of fibers per 100 kcal (37). Williams (2007) in Australia suggested that breakfast should be low in fat (26 to 30% of energy come from fat), high in carbohydrate (providing 55-58% of energy), a significant source of fiber, and rich in micronutrients (24).…”

Regular breakfast consumption has been acknowledged as an opportunity to meet nutrition recommendation and more favorable weight status. However, in Indonesia, breakfast skipping prevalence for school aged children is commonly found, as it ranged from 16.9% to 59%, with no exemption for Jakarta. The aims of present study were to compare nutrient intakes and weight status between breakfast eaters and non-breakfast eaters within different demographic subgroups, and additionally, to propose healthy breakfast recommendation based on condition of local population. 2 nd Indonesian National Basic Health Research Survey (RISKESDAS) in a cross-sectional setting were analyzed using 24-hr dietary recall. The main sample consisted of children age 6-to 12-year old randomly selected in Jakarta area (n = 945). Overall, breakfast consumers had higher daily energy, carbohydrate, protein, and micronutrients intake although for some micronutrients, these were not statistically significant. There is no significant difference between the two groups in terms of weight status. Skipping breakfast was more prevalent in girls (6.43% versus 3.64%), older children group (6.5% for 10-12 year group; 4.4% for 7-9 year group, and 2.2% for 6 year group), and low SES which was about 4.3%, respectively. About 39% of school aged children living in Jakarta consumed breakfast less than 15% Indonesian DRI, respectively. Furthermore, this study supported the current breakfast recommendation which was 15-30% of energy from Indonesian DRI with some additional encouragement. To encourage breakfast consumption among the population, some recommendation were also given within the study.
