Many school-aged children in Indonesia still skip breakfast, which can have an impact on their learning concentration and academic performance at school. This study aims to describe the quality and pattern of breakfast through the GEMPITA Program at Palu City, Central Sulawesi. This was a descriptive study with a sample size of 228 elementary and junior high school students in Palu City. Data collection was performed through interviews using structured questionnaires and anthropometric measurements. The study results show that the majority of respondents had pocket money of more than IDR 5,000/day, came from families with fathers of senior high school graduates and non-civil servants, the mothers generally had primary and secondary education and were housewives. Furthermore, the majority of respondents had a routine breakfast habit by 57.9%, 20.2% had breakfast sometimes and 21.9% never had breakfast. Furthermore, only 32.9% had quality breakfast menu. Regarding snack consumption habit, the majority of respondents by 77.2% consumed snacks more than three times a week and more than half of respondents by 58.3% had the habit of bringing packed meal, while 41.7% never brought packed meal. An assessment of the nutritional status of respondents showed that there were still 33.3% who were undernourished and 7.9% who were over nourished and obese. Stunting status occurred in 18.9% of respondents. The breakfast habit, quality and pattern of elementary and high school students still need to be improved. The GEMPITA program is an alternative program to improve the pattern and quality of breakfast for elementary and high school-aged children in Palu City.

Background Breakfast quality, together with regularity of breakfast, has been suggested to be associated with cardiometabolic health advantages. We aimed to evaluate the quality of breakfast and its socioeconomic and psychosocial correlates in a large sample of the Italian population. Methods Cross-sectional analyses on 7,673 adult and 505 children/adolescent regular breakfast eaters from the Italian Nutrition & Health Survey (INHES; 2010-2013). Dietary data were collected through a single 24-h dietary recall. Breakfast quality was assessed through the Breakfast Quality Index (BQI) combining intake of ten food groups, energy, and nutrients of public health concern, and potentially ranging from 0 to 10. The association of sociodemographic and psychosocial factors with BQI were analyzed by multivariable-adjusted linear regression models. Results The average BQI was 4.65 (SD ± 1.13) and 4.97 (SD ± 1.00) in adults and children/adolescents, respectively. Amongst adults, older age (β = 0.19; 95%CI 0.06 to 0.31 for > 65 vs. 20–40 years) and having a high educational level (β = 0.13; 0.03 to 0.23; for postsecondary vs. up to elementary) were independent predictors of better breakfast quality, while men reported lower BQI (β = -0.08; -0.14 to -0.02 vs. women). Perceived stress levels at home and work and financial stress were inversely associated with BQI. Children/adolescents living in Central and Southern Italian regions had lower BQI compared to residents in Northern Italy (β = -0.55; -0.91 to -0.19 and β = -0.24; -0.47 to -0.01, respectively). Conclusions In adults, breakfast quality was associated with age, sex, and educational level. Perceived stress levels were inversely associated with the quality of breakfast. In children/adolescents, a north-south gradient in breakfast quality was observed.

Background: Little is known about the association between active commuting (i.e., walking or cycling to school) with lifestyle parameters and mental health in youths. The objective of the present study was to investigate the association between mental health problems and symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress with lifestyle (i.e., food habits, screen time, physical activity, and sleep quality), active commuting, and gender. Methods: A total of 511 children and adolescents (boys, n = 249; girls, n = 262) aged 10 to 17 years participated in the study. Lifestyle parameters and mental health were evaluated using the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21). Results: Girls reported higher levels of anxiety (p = 0.001), depression (p = 0.001), and stress (p = 0.001). Mental health problems showed a positive association with gender (girls, β = 3.06, p < 0.001) and a negative association with food habits (β = −0.65, p = 0.019). Anxiety was positively associated with gender (β = 7.88, p < 0.001) and negatively associated with food habits (β = −0.23, p = 0.019). Gender (girls) and food habits were also associated with symptoms of depression (β = 2.29, p < 0.001 and β = −0.27, p = 0.005, respectively). Finally, active commuting was inversely associated with stress (β = −1.24, p = 0.008), and stress was positively linked to gender (β = 2.53, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Active commuting, lifestyle parameters, and gender were associated with mental health in children and adolescents. Moreover, girls reported higher levels of anxiety, symptoms of depression, and stress.
