Children do not eat breakfast or cause critical malnutrition

A study released recently by the King’s College of the University of London showed that if children do not eat breakfast regularly, it may lead to the daily intake of key nutrients that are not recommended, and these nutrients are closely related to physical development. A team led by King’s College Scholars reported in the new issue of the British Journal of Nutrition that they used the data from a large UK nutrition survey to analyze the relationship between children’s breakfast and nutritional intake. These data relate to 802 children aged 4 to 10 and 884 teenagers aged 11 to 18.

Although the study has not yet reached a specific causality conclusion, the data show that children who do not eat breakfast often have some key nutrients such as calcium, iron, and iodine, which are lower than those who often eat breakfast. For example, in terms of iron intake, 31.5% of children who ate breakfast infrequently did not meet the British government's recommended intake standards, and the percentage of children who ate breakfast was only 4.4%.

The analysis also showed that among children 4 to 10 years of age, there was a significant difference in the intake of these key nutrients during breakfast and non-breakfast days, and the intake of such nutrients during breakfast days. The level is significantly higher.

One of the authors of the report, Gerda Porter, a King’s College scholar, said that this study shows that breakfast is the key to ensuring children’s access to needed nutrition. (According to Xinhua News Agency)
