The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of skipping breakfast on diet quality and @entity209 risk factors in healthy Korean adults. Subjects included 415 employees (118 @entity1 , 297 @entity1 ; 30-50 years old) of Jaesang Hospital in Korea and their acquaintances. Data collected from each subject included anthropometric measurements, 3-day dietary intake, blood pressure, and blood analyses. The subjects were classified into three groups based on the number of days they skipped breakfast: 'Regular breakfast eater', 'Often breakfast eater', or 'Rare breakfast eater'. @entity1 in the 'Rare breakfast eater' group consumed less @entity579 , @entity415 , kimchi, vegetables, fish and shellfish, milk and dairy products, and sweets than did @entity1 in the other two groups (P for trend < 0.05) and ate more cookies, cakes, and meat for dinner (P for trend < 0.05). @entity1 in the 'Rare breakfast eater' group consumed less daily energy, fat, dietary fiber, @entity460 , and @entity972 than did @entity1 in the other groups (P for trend < 0.05). The percent energy from @entity3363 was lower and fat intake was higher in the 'Rare breakfast eater' group than in the other groups (P for trend < 0.01). When diets were compared using the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range for Koreans, 59.1% of subjects in the 'Rare breakfast eater' group consumed more energy from fat compared with the other two groups (P < 0.005). According to the Estimated Average Requirements for Koreans, intake of selected nutrients was lower in the 'Rare breakfast eater' group than in the other two groups (P < 0.05). The risk of elevated serum @entity1674 was decreased in the 'Rare breakfast eater' group (OR, 0.3 [0.1-1.0], P for trend = 0.0232). We conclude that eating breakfast regularly enhances diet quality, but may increase the risk of elevated serum @entity1674 .
