Abstract
|
|
|
The purpose of this study was to identify the factors associated with skipping breakfast of Korean children by
analyzing the 24-hour recall intake data from the 2001 National Health and Nutrition Survey. The sample of this study
consisted of 1,600 children aged 7 to 18 years. About 17% of the children skipped breakfast, consuming no food or
beverage at all. About 30% of children reporting breakfast skipping in a self-administered survey were shown to have
eaten some foods as a result of analysis of the 24-hour recall data. Students having eaten breakfast consumed 21%
of Estimated Energy Requirement at breakfast. The multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that age was
associated with skipping breakfast both in elementary and middle/high school students; older students were more likely
to skip breakfast. Elementary school students from low-income families were more likely to skip breakfast than those
from upper-high income families. Intervention programs are needed to prevent children from skipping breakfast by
targeting older students. For elementary school students, such programs should be first developed for those from lowincome
families. (Korean J Community Nutrition 13(1) : 62~68, 2008)
