“…This is consistent with a large educational literature (including randomized controlled trials and assessments of the School Breakfast Program) on the benefits of breakfast, which include increases in standardized test scores and reductions in psychosocial problems, absenteeism, and tardiness. [62][63][64][65][70][71][72][73] Among US adults, nearly as many reported eating high-fat desserts (15.1%) and eggs (15.3%) for breakfast as hot or cold cereals (21.8%). 74 We did attempt to perform an in-depth analysis of specific breakfast foods, but because some children who never ate breakfast reported eating over four servings per day of traditional breakfast foods (such as cereal, bagels, English muffins), and some who ate breakfast daily reported none, it was not feasible to address the quality of the foods consumed at breakfast.…”

Longitudinal study of skipping breakfast and weight change in adolescents

et al. 2003

BACKGROUND:Several cross-sectional studies reported that heavier children eat breakfast less often. However, no longitudinal studies have addressed whether skipping breakfast leads to excessive weight gain. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether skipping breakfast was prospectively associated with changes in body fatness. METHODS: A cohort of 414 000 boys and girls from all over the US, 9-to 14-y-old in 1996, returned annual mailed questionnaires (1996)(1997)(1998)(1999) for the Growing Up Today Study. We analyzed change in body mass index (BMI; kg/m 2 ) over three 1-y periods among children who reported breakfast frequency. RESULTS: Children who reported that they never eat breakfast had lower energy intakes than those who eat breakfast nearly every day. Children who were more physically active reported higher energy intakes, as did those who reported more time watching television/videos and playing videogames. Like previous studies, skipping breakfast was associated with overweight, cross-sectionally. However, overweight children who never ate breakfast lost BMI over the following year compared to overweight children who ate breakfast nearly every day (boys: À0.66 kg/m 2 (s.e. ¼ 0.22); girls: À0.50 kg/m 2 (s.e. ¼ 0.14)). But normal weight children who never ate breakfast gained weight relative to peers who ate breakfast nearly every day (boys: +0.21 kg/m 2 (s.e. ¼ 0.13); girls: +0.08 kg/m 2 (s.e. ¼ 0.05)). Breakfast frequency was positively correlated with self-reported quality of schoolwork. CONCLUSIONS: Overweight children who never eat breakfast may lose body fat, but normal weight children do not. Since numerous studies link skipping breakfast to poorer academics, children should be encouraged to eat breakfast.

“…Likewise, providing students with a free piece of fruit at school is an effective strategy to increase students' fruit consumption 37,38 and school breakfast programs contribute to adequate nutrient intakes of students. 39,40 Efforts to increase physical activity may be best targeted outside of school hours with considerations to how preferred activities may differ among different population groups.…”

Objectives:To describe how the prevalences of nutrition and physical activity behaviours vary by ethnicity, while controlling for other socio‐demographic characteristics, and to identify appropriate points of intervention for defined ethnic populations of New Zealand children. Methods:Secondary data analysis of the 2002 National Children's Nutrition Survey. Results:Few ethnic differences were significant for fruit and vegetable consumption and indicators of physical activity. Where ethnic differences in physical activity were significant, Mäori children and Pacific children were more active than New Zealand European/Other (NZEO) children. Pacific children and Mäori children were significantly more likely to skip meals than NZEO children. Pacific children and Mäori children were significantly more likely to buy some/most of the food they consumed at school from the tuckshop or dairy while NZEO children were more likely to bring their school food only from home. Likewise, Pacific children and Mäori children were significantly more likely to be high consumers of some fatty and sugary foods than NZEO children. Conclusions and Implications:Meal skipping and purchasing food away from home were common for Mäori children and Pacific children; school‐based programs that aim to improve access to and subsidise the price of healthy foods, including breakfast, could greatly benefit Mäori and Pacific students. Efforts to improve fruit and vegetable consumption and physical activity should be more universally applied and made culturally appropriate for all children.

Café da manhã: caracterização, consumo e importância para a saúde

O café da manhã é uma das três principais refeições do dia, mas, apesar da sua importância para a saúde, a diminuição do seu consumo é uma modificação importante no comportamento alimentar atual. Neste estudo, reflete-se sobre a caracterização dessa refeição e a implicação de seu consumo para a saúde; discutem-se, também, sua importância e as recomendações de consumo. Após revisão de artigos e respectivas contribuições científicas em bases de dados da área, pode-se afirmar que o café da manhã, objeto desta comunicação, é ainda bastante carente de pesquisas na literatura científica. Contudo, evidências científicas associam o consumo habitual de café da manhã a baixo risco de sobrepeso e obesidade, bem como melhoria na capacidade de aprendizagem. Estudos identificam que o perfil dos consumidores frequentes dessa refeição é de não fumantes que praticam atividade física, que controlam o peso e que não fazem uso frequente de álcool. Os autores pesquisados sugerem, assim, uma relação positiva entre o consumo de café da manhã e um estilo de vida saudável, justificando a recomendação de programas de incentivo ao seu consumo.
