“…Quite a high number of female participants skipped breakfast more than male counterpart, perhaps the female are more concern with their body image, that is, fear of being overweight and obese. This is similar with the previous studies that linked meals skipping to concern about body image among adolescent girls [19][20][21][22]. The reasons cited by the students for skipping breakfast were inadequate feeding allowances or pocket money and busy schedules.…”

Abstract:The study was carried out to assess the breakfast consumption habit and nutritional status of undergraduates in Ekiti State, Nigeria. Two hundred and fifty students comprising of 186 female and 64 male were randomly selected in two higher institutions. A self administered questionnaire which elicits information on socio-demographic data and breakfast habit of the students was used. Nutrients intake of the respondents was assess using 24 hour dietary recall while the Body Mass Index (BMI) was used to assess the nutritional status of the respondents. The result revealed that 76.2% of the respondents were female while 23.8% were male. Slightly above average (52.8%) were within the age range of 16-20 years while 36.8% received more than ₦10, 000 as feeding allowances. In general, 52% of the students reported not to be taking breakfast on the day of the survey and 40.8% attributed this to insufficient feeding allowances. Nutritional status assessment showed that there was no significant difference (Χ 2 =4.16; P=0.24) between breakfast skipping and BMI. The 24 hour dietary analysis showed that there was a significant (P<0.05) difference between the mean protein and fat intake of breakfast skippers and eaters. The mean nutrients intake of breakfast skippers and eaters were; energy (2315.4kcal vs 2229.6kcal), protein (52.6g vs 58.4g), fat (42.1g vs 33.0g), carbohydrate (324.3g vs 306.3g), iron (12.4mg vs 12.6mg), and calcium (1106.2mg vs 1157.9mg ). The study concluded majority of the students' skip breakfast, a reflection of insufficient feeding allowances, busy schedule and weight control measures. The study then recommends that parents should increase the feeding allowances of their children that are in tertiary institutions.

“…In addition, like Calderon et al 15 , our study showed that weight loss dieting was more strongly associated with BMI among boys, with a twofold risk as compared to girls. One interesting finding is that the overall prevalence of excess weight among adolescents in the cohort was 23.2%.…”

“…This finding is consistent with a study by Field et al 14 analyzing American adolescents 12 to 18 years of age, with 8% and 3% prevalence rates for dieting in the previous year by girls and boys, respectively. Calderon et al 15 evaluated adolescents from 13 to 17 years of age in public schools in Los Angeles, California, and found similar results (dieting was more prevalent in girls than boys). This different behavior between girls and boys appears to be well documented in the literature and may reflect a greater concern among girls, particularly in relation to appearance and health, as compared to their male peers 14,15,16,17 .…”

“…The greater feed efficiency of chow/preferred-fed rats may result from the sucrose content of the preferred diet (Kanarek et al, 1987;Kanarek and Orthen-Gambill, 1982) as well as the acquired habit of consuming large energy loads following self-imposed periods of relative hypophagia (Batista et al, 1997). This self-determined 'meal-fed'-like pattern of sustained dietary restraint interrupted predictably by a single large meal/binge models eating patterns of some dieters and patients with eating disorders and, via greater prandial insulin responses (Calderon et al, 2004;Taylor et al, 1999), may promote lipogenesis.…”

Binge eating and an increased role for palatability in determining food intake are abnormal adaptations in feeding behavior linked to eating disorders and body weight dysregulation. The present study tested the hypothesis that rats with limited access to highly preferred food would develop analogous opioid-dependent learned adaptations in feeding behavior, with associated changes in metabolism and anxiety-like behavior. For this purpose, adolescent female Wistar rats were daily food deprived (2 h) and then offered 10-min access to a feeder containing chow followed sequentially by 10-min access to a different feeder containing either chow (chow/chow; n ¼ 7) or a highly preferred, but macronutrient-comparable, sucrose-rich diet (chow/preferred; n ¼ 8). Chow/preferred-fed rats developed binge-like hyperphagia of preferred diet from the second feeder and anticipatory chow hypophagia from the first feeder with a time course suggesting associative learning. The feeding adaptations were dissociable in onset, across individuals, and in their dose-response to the opioid-receptor antagonist nalmefene, suggesting that they represent distinct palatability-motivated processes. Chow/preferred-fed rats showed increased anxiety-like behavior in relation to their propensity to binge as well as increased feed efficiency, body weight, and visceral adiposity. Chow/preferred-fed rats also had increased circulating leptin levels and decreased growth hormone and 'active' ghrelin levels. Thus, the short-term control of food intake in rats with restricted access to highly preferred foods comes to rely more on hedonic, rather than nutritional, properties of food, through associative learning mechanisms. Such rats show changes in ingestive, metabolic, endocrine, and anxiety-related measures, which resemble features of binge eating disorders or obesity.
