Skipping breakfast was common in an observational study of schoolchildren in Greece, and children who skipped breakfast tended to have an unhealthy lifestyle profile.

‘Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Missing out on it diminishes the cognitive ability and physical strength of the children, that are essential to carry out their daily endeavors.’

After adjustments for several confounding factors, poor dietary habits, insufficient sleep (less than eight hours), and increased screen time (more than two hours) increased the odds for skipping breakfast by 80 percent, 23 percent, and 22.5 percent, respectively.
