Breakfast consumption and its socio-demographic and lifestyle correlates in schoolchildren in 41 countries participating in the HBSC study
Abstract
Objective: To investigate associations of daily breakfast consumption
(DBC) with demographic and lifestyle factors in 41
countries.
Methods: Design: Survey including nationally representative
samples of 11–15 year olds (n = 204,534) (HBSC 2005–2006).
Statistics: Multilevel logistic regression analyses
Results: DBC varied from 33 % (Greek girls) to 75 % (Portuguese
boys).
In most countries, lower DBC was noticed in girls, older adolescents,
those with lower family affluence and those living
in single-parent families. DBC was positively associated with
healthy lifestyle behaviours and negatively with unhealthy
lifestyle behaviours.
