Obesity has become a worldwide epidemic and its prevalence continues to increase at a rapid rate in various populations and across all age-group. The effect of meal skipping, both behaviorally and physiologically, may have an impact on the outcome of weight-loss efforts.
Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of breakfast skipping and obesity in subjects.
A retrospective analysis of the patients visited to a metabolic clinic of the city was done.
One hundred and eighty-six eligible subjects were included for the study. A questionnaire was used for data collection which included information regarding dietary factors and exercise schedule/physical activity. A 24-hour dietary recall method was used to assess the amount of food consumed. Anthropometric measurements were taken.
The higher prevalence of overweight and obesity in the present study could be because of imbalance in the diet and faulty food habits prevalent in the region.

对到该市一家代谢诊所就诊的患者进行了回顾性分析。
186名符合条件的受试者被纳入研究。使用问卷调查收集数据，其中包括饮食因素和运动计划/身体活动方面的信息。采用24小时饮食回顾法评估食物摄入量。进行了人体测量。
本研究中超重和肥胖的较高患病率可能是由于该地区普遍存在的饮食不均衡和不良饮食习惯。
