This study examined the dietary behaviors and dietary quality of high school students according to the number of timesthey skipped breakfast. A total of 474 high school students (225 boys and 249 girls) residing in Incheon participated in thissurvey. The subjects were divided into the three groups according to the frequency of eating breakfast; Regualr (eatingbreakfast everyday, n=226), Irregualar (eating breakfast 1~6 times/week, n=143, and Skipping (skipping breakfasteveryday, n=105). The dietary quality was assessed using a nutrient quotient for adolescents (NQ-A). A higher monthlyallowance and a higher rate of working mothers were significantly associated with a higher frequency of skipping breakfast.
A higher intake frequency of processed beverages, and street food was significantly associated with a higher frequency ofskipping breakfast. Students who had a higher rate of breakfast skipping had significantly lower intake frequency of fruits,white milk, bean and bean products, and fish. The high frequency of skipping breakfast among high school students wasassociated with lower dietary quality, as illustrated by the low total NQ-A score and sub group score including balance,environment, and practice. This information can inform efforts to provide nutrition education program to promote breakfastconsumption and guidelines to students who skipped breakfast frequently.
