Abstract

Although the importance of adequate breakfast for health and school performance of
children is well known, there is little information about this meal of Vietnamese children,
especially of preschool and primary school-aged ones (2-11 years old). The study aimed
to find the composition of breakfast in this age group, its impact on daily nutrient intake,
as well as on nutritional anthropometric status. Method: A cross-sectional study in 2583
children in the ages of pre- and primary-school (2-11 years old) was conducted. Variables
included the prevalence of breakfast skipping, comparison of percentage of RDA meeting
level of some nutrients between daily and non-daily breakfast groups and association between breakfast consumption and nutritional anthropometric status. The results were corrected for gender, age, living area and region. Results: 10.5% of children skipped breakfast.
This percentage varied by age, area, region, mother's education and household economic
conditions. The RDA meeting level was more adequate in the daily breakfast group than
in the non-daily one. The stunting prevalence of primary school aged children was 2.5
times lower in the daily breakfast group than that in the non-daily breakfast one. Conclusion: Breakfast skipping considerably reduced the adequacy of daily nutrient intake of the
children and significantly increased the risk of being stunted in primary school aged children.
