The aim of this study was to describe the relationship of breakfast frequency to diet quality and BMI among low-income, predominantly African American adolescents aged 9-15 (n = 239). Mean frequency of breakfast consumption was 5.0 ± 0.15 times per week. A significant, positive relationship was seen between HEI scores and frequency of breakfast consumption (p = .01). Dairy (p = .02) and whole grains (p < .01) HEI component scores were significantly related to breakfast frequency. No relationship was seen between breakfast frequency and BMI. Research with more rigorous designs should be conducted to assess the potential effects of breakfast consumption on diet quality in this population.
本研究的目的是描述早餐频率与9至15岁低收入、以非裔美国人为主的青少年(n = 239)的饮食质量和体重指数(BMI)之间的关系。早餐消费的平均频率为每周5.0±0.15次。健康饮食指数(HEI)得分与早餐消费频率之间存在显著的正相关关系(p = .01)。乳制品(p = .02)和全谷物(p < .01)的HEI成分得分与早餐频率显著相关。早餐频率与BMI之间未发现相关性。应进行更严谨设计的研究,以评估早餐消费对该人群饮食质量的潜在影响。
