Effect of Breakfast Skipping on Lipid Profile Parameters, Body Weight, and Metabolic Measures among University Going Adults

Shakeel Ashraf and Zeshan Ali

The effect of skipping breakfast on health, specifically in adults, remains a debatable topic. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of breakfast skipping on lipid profile parameters, obesity and metabolic disorders. Two hundred subjects were divided into three different groups (regular, often and rare breakfast eaters). Three days’ dietary intake over one weekend day and two weekdays were collected from each subject using a 24-hour recall and a 2-day daily record. Total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoproteins (HDL), low density lipoproteins (LDL), triglycerides (TG), body weight, body mass index, waist circumference and blood pressure were analyzed. This study supports the hypothesis that breakfast skipping has impact on selected metabolic measures, nutrient intakes and body weight in university going adults.
