This study by Ingrid Marie Hovdenak and colleagues examines the prevalence of breakfast skipping among upper secondary school students in Norway and its association with sociodemographic factors, including socioeconomic status (SES). The research found that 22% of adolescents regularly skip breakfast, with higher rates among females, students with lower SES, and those in vocational education programs. The primary reasons for skipping breakfast were lack of time and lack of appetite. The study highlights the need for targeted interventions, such as school meal programs, to address dietary inequalities.
