Abstract in brief

  • Breakfast consumption is linked to better diet quality, micronutrient intake, weight status, and lifestyle, and may positively influence children's behavior, cognition, and school performance, especially in terms of classroom behavior and academic outcomes.
  • The reviewed studies mainly show that eating breakfast improves on-task classroom behavior and suggests that regular, high-quality breakfast consumption, including school breakfast programs, can enhance academic performance, particularly in math and arithmetic for undernourished children.
  • While evidence points to positive effects of breakfast, many findings are influenced by confounding factors like socioeconomic status and methodological limitations, indicating a need for further research to clarify the relationship between breakfast habits and academic success.
