“…It is likely that children and adolescents who eat breakfast differ from those who do not eat breakfast in ways that also influence educational outcomes. There is a consistent evidence that SES is associated with breakfast eating, with children from higher SES backgrounds more likely to regularly eat breakfast than children from lower SES backgrounds, an effect which is consistent across gender and age (Delva et al, 2006;Moore et al, 2007;Doku et al, 2011;Hallström et al, 2011Hallström et al, , 2012Overby et al, 2011). Similarly, there is well established consistent evidence that SES is a central determinant of academic performance and cognitive ability (Brooks-Gunn and Duncan, 1997;McLoyd, 1998;McCulloch and Joshi, 2001;Machin and Vignoles, 2004).…”

Breakfast consumption is associated with positive outcomes for diet quality, micronutrient intake, weight status and lifestyle factors. Breakfast has been suggested to positively affect learning in children in terms of behavior, cognitive, and school performance. However, these assertions are largely based on evidence which demonstrates acute effects of breakfast on cognitive performance. Less research which examines the effects of breakfast on the ecologically valid outcomes of academic performance or in-class behavior is available. The literature was searched for articles published between 1950-2013 indexed in Ovid MEDLINE, Pubmed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, EMBASE databases, and PsychINFO. Thirty-six articles examining the effects of breakfast on in-class behavior and academic performance in children and adolescents were included. The effects of breakfast in different populations were considered, including undernourished or well-nourished children and adolescents from differing socio-economic status (SES) backgrounds. The habitual and acute effects of breakfast and the effects of school breakfast programs (SBPs) were considered. The evidence indicated a mainly positive effect of breakfast on on-task behavior in the classroom. There was suggestive evidence that habitual breakfast (frequency and quality) and SBPs have a positive effect on children's academic performance with clearest effects on mathematic and arithmetic grades in undernourished children. Increased frequency of habitual breakfast was consistently positively associated with academic performance. Some evidence suggested that quality of habitual breakfast, in terms of providing a greater variety of food groups and adequate energy, was positively related to school performance. However, these associations can be attributed, in part, to confounders such as SES and to methodological weaknesses such as the subjective nature of the observations of behavior in class.

“…El consumo regular del desayuno está asociado con un menor riesgo de exceso ponderal entre los adolescentes en Europa (20). Quienes toman un desayuno con cereales tienen una mayor ingesta de nutrientes, fibra, proteínas y algunos micronutrientes junto con un aumento en la frecuencia del consumo de frutas y yogures (21).…”

“…Nuestros datos recogidos en Argentina también reflejan un menor consumo de fruta al día con una menor frecuencia de desayunos saludables. A pesar de la importancia del consumo diario de desayuno, saltárselo es común en los adolescentes de muchos países occidentales, con prevalencias que varían entre el 3% y el 34% (20). Un trabajo realizado en Buenos Aires evaluó 854 niños con una prevalencia de sobrepeso y obesidad del 30%.…”

Introducción: La prevalencia de la obesidad entre los adolescentes ha aumentado con el paso de los años, lo que supone un reto en salud pública. Objetivo: Determinar el grado de asociación de las horas de sueño y los hábitos alimentarios como factores determinantes de la obesidad en adolescentes de un país europeo y otro sudamericano. Materiales y métodos: Se estudió la duración del sueño, la adherencia a la dieta mediterránea mediante el índice KIDMED, los hábitos alimentarios y el estudio de antropometría para la composición corporal de 272 adolescentes. Resultados: De los 272 adolescentes, 164 eran españoles y 108 argentinos, con edades entre los 11-16 años. El 42% de la muestra argentina presentaba exceso ponderal, el 53,3% normopeso y el 4,8% bajo peso. En España, el 39% sobrepeso u obesidad, el 54,3% normopeso y el 6,7% bajo peso. La muestra española presentaba mayor adherencia a la dieta mediterránea. Con respecto a la duración del sueño, se reflejaron diferencias significativas: un 18% de la muestra adolescente española y un 57% de Argentina llegaba a dormir 8h diarias. No se encontró relación estadísticamente significativa entre las horas de sueño y la nutrición sobre el sobrepeso u obesidad de los adolescentes. Aquellos adolescentes que seguían unos hábitos alimentarios más cercanos a la Dieta Mediterránea presentaban mejores valores de IMC. Conclusiones: En general, los adolescentes argentinos tenían peores hábitos alimentarios y mayor exceso ponderal que la muestra española.

“…Mothers' influence is stronger than fathers'; girls with highly educated mothers skip their breakfast less often than others (46), and mother's employment through affecting the availability of food for teenagers affects their choice of foods (47). Family income is also effective on consumption of special food groups such as fruits and vegetables (48) as well as fast foods (49,50).…”

A Review on Determinants of Nutritional Behavior in Teenagers

et al. 2017

Context: Adolescence is associated with important physical, mental, and social changes leading to rapid changes in behavioral patterns including nutritional behaviors. The nutritional behaviors of individuals as well as changing those behaviors should be recognized to design an effective program. The present study sets to recognize determinants of the adolescents' nutritional behaviors based on the social-ecological model. Evidence Acquisition: In an extensive literature review, all Farsi and English articles adopted quantitative studies, which were either cross-sectional, longitudinal, or clinical trials. Furthermore, all Farsi and English qualitative studies published from 1990 to 2016 were reviewed. For this purpose, Scopus, Medline, Embase, Cochrane central register of controlled trials and Cochrane database systematic review databases, as well as Farsi databases including Iranmedex, SID, and Magiran were searched. Keywords included nutritional behaviors of teenagers (eating breakfast, fruits, and vegetables, fast foods, unhealthy snacks) and determinant factors. After extracting the effective factors, they were categorized into social-ecological mode. Results: Since ecological models are focused on individuals' interactions with cultural, environmental, and social factors, applying them to determine the effective factors, and designing interventions based on these factors could enhance the programs for improvement of teenagers' nutritional behaviors. Conclusions: Changes in intrapersonal and environmental factors could have a more effective role in making changes in teenagers' nutritional behaviors. Since some of these factors become key factors in different social-cultural contexts, nutritional changes in societies have a decisive role in their significance. The significance level of factors and their effect on the target society must be considered for designing more effective interventions.
