Skipping breakfast results in metabolic diseases like obesity, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, increased lipid profile.
Two hundred students of university of veterinary and animal sciences and their acquaintances were selected with age ranging from 20-25 years. Fasting blood samples were collected from university students for biochemical analysis of lipid profile that included cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL and LDL and Glucose levels were determined using biochemical analyzer (Micro lab 300, Merk). Anthropometric measurements were done using their respective tools.
The distribution of subjects in breakfast consumption groups was evaluated using the χ2 test. The mean and standard differences deviation were calculated for each breakfast consumption group.
At the end it is concluded that skipping of breakfast might have hazardous effect on diet quality and metabolic disease risks. This can lead to development of potential hazardous risk factors like central abdominal obesity, elevated cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL levels and decreased HDL levels. These risk factors if uncontrolled can lead to disease like diabetes, hypertension and heart attack in old life.
