Breakfast Dietary Pattern Is Inversely Associated with Overweight/Obesity in European Adolescents: The HELENA Study

Abstract: Obesity in children and adolescents is a public health problem and diet can play a major role in this condition. We aimed to identify sex-specific dietary patterns (DP) and to evaluate the association with overweight/obesity in European adolescents. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis with 2327 adolescents aged between 12.5 to 17.5 years from a multicenter study across Europe. The body mass index was categorized in “normal weight” and “overweight/obesity”. Two non-consecutive 24-h dietary recalls were coll… Show more

“…A high factor loading of sugar and sweet drinks, processed meat and butter found in the Western pattern was similar to those found in previous studies among Iranian adults 35 , 53 , 58 . At breakfast meal, the “bread, vegetable and cheese” dietary pattern identified in our study was similar to a dietary pattern labeled “Mediterranean” found at a breakfast meal in a cross-sectional study of European adolescents 59 , as well as the “Brazilian southeastern” dietary pattern found at a breakfast meal in a large cross-sectional study in Brazil 60 . Our “oil, egg and cereals” dietary pattern at breakfast meal shared similarities with those found in previous studies among European adolescents 59 and Brazilian adults 61 .…”

Our “oil, egg and cereals” dietary pattern at breakfast meal shared similarities with those found in previous studies among European adolescents 59 and Brazilian adults 61 . In addition, our “cereals, oil, poultry and, legume” pattern found at dinner meal shared similar food groups to dietary patterns labeled “other grains and fat” 62 , “cereals and legumes” 36 , “traditional” 63 , “healthy” 35 , “fruits and vegetables” 61 , “balanced” 64 found at dinner meals in previous research.…”

“…One possible reason is that girls who eat breakfast in a daily basis have shown a higher quality breakfast than boys [37]. Supporting this idea, different breakfast habits among European boys (i.e., higher intake of breakfast cereals, fruit, milk, and dairy, and fewer sugar-sweetened beverages) and girls (i.e., lower intake of pasta, rice, and others) have been inversely related to excess weight [38]. Despite its cross-sectional design, our results indicate that promotion of a healthy eating habit such as having breakfast should be accompanied by increases in daily MVPA, as young participants who have breakfast and with higher daily MVPA seem to be more likely to have no excess weight [38].…”

“…A previous study indicated that the consumption of an energy-dense, high-fat, fast-food–style breakfast resulted in increased postprandial oxidative stress [ 31 ]. Another study found an inverse association between higher adherence to a healthier breakfast pattern and lower odds for overweight/obesity [ 32 ]. Additionally, a 5-week, one-egg-per-day breakfast reduced the inflammatory markers tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and aspartate amino-transferase (AST) [ 33 ].…”
