“…There are only a few studies that approach the factors associated with skipping breakfast. In general, they report a positive association between breakfasting and healthy lifestyles, such as not smoking, being physically active, controlling body weight and avoiding alcoholic beverages 3,6,7,10,24 .…”

“…This meal has also been associated with less visceral fat and higher percentage of lean mass 9,24 . It is known that reduction of body weight and fat percentage is important for the prevention and control of diseases, especially cardiovascular diseases and glucose intolerance, and, consequently, diabetes Mellitus 9,24,26 . Corroborating these findings, Pereira et al 10 observed better blood glucose control in people who breakfasted frequently.…”

ObjectiveThis study identified the sociodemographic, lifestyle, dietary and anthropometric factors of users of a public health promotion service who have breakfast regularly. MethodsThis cross-sectional study included all users aged 20 years or more who joined the service between March 2007 and December 2010. Their socioeconomic and anthropometric data, dietary habits and health status were investigated. Statistical treatment included the Chi-square, Mann-Whitney, Fisher's exact and Student's t tests and Poisson regression analysis (p<0.05). ResultsMost of the participants (87.1%, n=528) breakfasted often, especially those aged 48.5 years or more (p=0.041). Poisson regression analysis showed association between breakfasting often and not smoking (PR=1.45, 95%CI: 1.10-1.91), having a greater number of daily meals (PR=1.15, 95%CI: 1.06-1.25), appropriate intake of deepfried foods (PR=1.12, 95%CI: 1.01-1.25), lower fat intake (PR=0.78, 95%CI: 0.68-0.89) and smaller prevalence of excess weight (PR=0.85, 95%CI: 0.78-0.92). ConclusionThe positive relationship found between breakfasting often and not smoking, appropriate food and nutrient intakes and a healthier body weight shows the need of emphasizing this meal in health services as a simple and doable health promotion strategy that helps to prevent and control chronic diseases.

“…Adolescents and children are still dependants and they need adequate attention and care in order for them to be able to develop meals and food habits that are healthy and will promote good nutritional status (Lazzeri et al, 2013;Nanney et al, 2011;Storey et al, 2011;Wate et al, 2013). Skipping breakfast and unhealthy food consumption may lead to micro nutrients deficiencies and poor nutritional status (Acham et al, 2012;Hallstrom et al, 2013;Pereira et al, 2011;So et al, 2011). The consequences of poor nutritional status at the early stage of life may be so serious that it can result in depression, lack of self esteem, unconsciousness, anxiety, poor cognition and academic achievements and in extreme condition a premature death among school children and used to measure height and weight of participants two adolescents (Acham et al, 2012;Arora et al, 2012; times each and mean height and weight were Bhurtun and Jeewon, 2013;Hoyland et al, 2012;Matthys determined.…”

“…The increase in the prevalent o f and ethical considerations were dully observed. diseases such as diabetes, elevated blood pressure, stroke, overweight and obesity, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases has been positively associated to unhealthy dietary consumption emanating from food transition (Briefel et al, 2009;Gupta et al, 2012;Hallstrom et al, 2013;Kral et al, 2011;Rampersaud et al, 2005), this has contributed to poor health care delivery in developing countries. Majority of countries in Africa, Middle East and Asia continents have a larger proportion of population that is less than 40 years (Baldwin and Amati, 2012).…”

Breakfast as the first meal of the day is one of the most skipped meals by adolescent students. Several research studies indicated that unhealthy food consumption and breakfast skipping contribute to low glyceamic level, poor cognition and academic performance as well as increasing prevalence of poor nutritional status among children (5-19) years. This study determined prevalence of breakfast and food consumption pattern and nutritional status of students in public secondary schools. This study's design was cross-sectional and multistage random sampling was used to select 515 participants, (343 girls and 172 boys) from 8 public secondary schools in study area. Self-reported 24 h recall dietary questionnaire was used to collect data on breakfast and food consumption of participants. Digital bathroom scale and stadiometer were used to collect data on weight and height of participants. Data were cleaned, coded and analyzed using (SPSS Version 20) and WHO anthroplus software. Results indicated that 54.0% o f participants were (15/6-18/5) years/months, 77% consumed breakfast daily and 52% added (1-2) teaspoons of sugar daily to beverages. Furthermore, participants mostly consumed refined carbohydrates such as doughnut and biscuits (2.36±0.99 times per week), while mostly consumed fat and oil such as vegetable oil in soup (2.54±0.96 times per week), mostly consumed snacks such as fish pies and fish rolls (2.71±0.87 times per week), while mostly consumed protein such as eggs (2.15±0.69 times per week) and mostly consumed fruit such as pawpaw (2.56±0.89 times per week). Overall Nutritional status indicated that underweight was 29.1%, overweight was 4.7%, obesity was 0.2 and 66.0% were of normal weight. Furthermore, Nutritional status for both boys and girls indicated that underweight was (47.7 and 19.8%), overweight was (0.6 and 6.7%), obese was (0 and 0.3%) and normal weight was (51.7 and 73.2%), respectively. Relationship between food consumption and nutritional status of participants was positive but not significant (r = 0.012, p = 0.785). Analysis of variance showed positive significant relationship (p = 0.001) between food consumption and nutritional status. Despite that majority of participants consumed breakfast, the participants low frequency of food consumption is still of concern and this may influence their nutritional status negatively. Parents and other stakeholders should encourage breakfast consumption by participants as well as the consumption of nutritious food in order to meet their daily dietary allowance.

“…In addition, regular breakfast consumption has been associated with a healthier cardiovascular profile in European adolescents (5) . Breakfast has been documented to make an essential contribution to nutrient intakes (1,7,8) , due to its contribution of approximately 20 % to total daily energy intake and content of specific nutrients such as vitamins (9) .…”

Objective: The present study aimed to examine the association between different breakfast consumption patterns and vitamin intakes and blood vitamin concentrations in European adolescents. Design: Breakfast consumption was assessed by a questionnaire. Vitamin intake was calculated from two 24 h recalls. Blood vitamin and total homocysteine (tHcy) concentrations were analysed from fasting blood samples. Setting: The European Commission-funded HELENA (Healthy Lifestyle in Europe by Nutrition in Adolescence) Study. Subjects: Participants were 1058 (52·8 % females) European adolescents (aged 12·5-17·5 years) from ten cities. Results: Lower vitamin D and vitamin C concentrations were observed in male and female breakfast skippers than in consumers (P < 0·05). Female breakfast consumers presented higher holo-transcobalamin and lower tHcy (P < 0·05), while males had higher cobalamin concentrations, compared with skippers (P < 0·05). Higher vitamin D and total folate intakes were observed in adolescents who consumed breakfast compared with skippers (P < 0·05). Likewise, female consumers had higher intakes of vitamin B 6 and vitamin E than occasional consumers (P < 0·05). Conclusions: Regular breakfast consumption is associated with higher blood vitamin D and cobalamin concentrations in males and with higher vitamin D and holo-transcobalamin and lower tHcy concentrations in females. Moreover, breakfast consumption is associated with high intakes of vitamin D and total folate in both sexes, and with high intakes of vitamin B 6 and vitamin E in females.Although breakfast is widely promoted as essential for the nutritional well-being of young people, breakfast skipping is relatively common among adolescents in developed countries (1,2) . The breakfast meal and the frequency with which it is consumed, together with genetic and environmental factors, may influence appetite, dietary intake and food choices. These factors may have important implications for body weight regulation and to prevent diseases.
