Abstract

¯Abstract Background: Diets of obese persons are less adequate than those with normal weight obese persons skip breakfast more frequently. Objective: The aim of this investigation was to study the association between the regular breakfast intake and the obesity. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed within the framework of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS) on 562 subjects (279 men and 283 women). Following the measurement of anthropometric indices, 24-hour dietary recalls for 2 days were collected. There were 2 groups for analysis: group one with breakfast intake (404 subjects) and group two (158 subjects) with no breakfast intake. ANCOVA and logistic regression tests were used for analysis. Sex, age, smoking and total energy intake were adjusted. Findings: 72% and 28% of subjects were in the “with breakfast intake” and “no breakfast intake” groups, respectively. There were 61% and 39% women and men in the “no breakfast intake group”, respectively. BMI, WC, WHR showed significant differences between two groups. Those with no breakfast intake found to have higher chances for obesity (OR=2.58, 95%CI=1.37-4.85). Conclusion: Based on our data, breakfast intake has an effect on the risk of obesity. Longitudinal studies with respect to physical activities are recommended
