1998
Nicklas, T.A. | O'Neil, G.E. | Berenson, G.S.
Breakfast consumption has been identified as an important factor in the nutritional well-being of children. Several studies have indicated that omission of breakfast or consumption of an inadequate breakfast is a factor contributing to poor school performance and to dietary inadequacies that are rarely compensated for in other meals of the day. Differences have also been observed in the nutrient density of the breakfast meal, depending on whether it was consumed at school or at home. Ready-to-eat cereals make a significant contribution to the nutritional quality of diets of children and young adults. The Bogalusa Heart Study, which began 25 y ago, is an epidemiologic investigation of cardiovascular risk factors and environmental determinants in a biracial pediatric population. The purpose of this review is to present data from the Bogalusa Heart Study and other studies supporting the statements above.
