Abstract: We investigated the demographic, anthropometric, clinical, biochemical andbehavioural factors associated with children and adolescents who missed breakfast. This 2012 cross-sectional study was carried out in the city of Juiz de Fora, Brazil,with a sample of 684 students: 191 children aged 7–9 and 493 adolescents aged 10–14.Data on demographic, physical activity and breakfast consumption were based on a 24-hour recall record and a three-day dietary record. Weight, height, body fat, waistcircumference and blood pressure were also measured. Finally, samples were collected foranalysis of blood total cholesterol, low-density and high-density lipoproteins, triglyceridesand glucose. The statistics are presented as prevalence ratios (PR) with 95% confidence(95% CI) intervals. Missing breakfast was more common among adolescents than children (30%versus 22%) and among girls of all ages than among boys (33% versus 22%). It was alsoassociated with children, but not adolescents, with increased levels of diastolic bloodpressure (PR 5.6, 95% CI 1.8–17.4), total cholesterol (PR 1.5, 95% CI 1.2–1.9) and low-density lipoprotein (PR 2.1, 95% CI 1.5–2.9). Missing breakfast was more common among adolescents and females andassociated with increased levels of diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein in children
