我们研究了1965至1991年间美国儿童(1-10岁)和青少年(11-18岁)的早餐消费模式和趋势。分析是通过汇集从1965年和1977-1978年全国食物消费调查和-1991年个人食物摄入量持续调查中获得的具有全国代表性的样本进行的。早餐消费是趋势分析的重点，早餐消费的定义是食物、饮料或两者都在0500至1000之间的消费。描述性结果表明，1965至1991年间早餐消费下降，特别是15-18岁的年龄较大的青少年；男孩和女孩的比例分别从1965年的89.7%和84.4%下降到1991年的74.9%和64.7%。多变量结果表明，早餐消费量下降的主要原因是行为变化，而不是人口社会人口结构的变化。自1965年以来，早餐食用的食物的营养质量有所改善，显著转向食用低脂牛奶，其他食物类别的变化较小。然而，随着时间的推移，早餐消费的食物质量的改善被目前不吃早餐的年龄或11岁的人的很大比例所抵消。考虑到肥胖与较少的早餐消费以及这一年龄段人群中肥胖率的上升之间的联系，有必要重新强调早餐的重要性。
We examined breakfast consumption patterns and trends between 1965 and 1991 for children (1-10 y old) and adolescents (11-18 y old) in the United States. The analysis was undertaken by pooling nationally representative samples obtained from the Nationwide Food Consumption Surveys of 1965 and 1977-1978 and the 1989-1991 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals. Breakfast consumption, defined as the consumption of food, beverage, or both between 0500 and 1000, was the focus of the trends analysis. Descriptive results indicated a decline in breakfast consumption between 1965 and 1991, particularly for older adolescents aged 15-18 y; the rates for boys and girls declined from 89.7% and 84.4%, respectively, in 1965 to 74.9% and 64.7%, respectively, in 1991. Multivariate results indicated that breakfast consumption declined predominantly because of behavioral changes and not the population's changing sociodemographic patterns. The nutritional quality of foods consumed at breakfast has improved since 1965, with significant shifts toward consumption of lower-fat milk and smaller changes in other food groups. The improvement over time in the quality of food consumed at breakfast, however, is offset by the large percentage of persons aged > or = 11 y who do not presently consume breakfast. Given the association of obesity with less frequent breakfast consumption and the rise in obesity among persons of this age group, a renewed emphasis on the importance of breakfast is warranted.
