Men who skipped breakfast four to six times per week experienced a mean increase in waist circumference that was 0.2 cm vs. men who ate breakfast every day; men who skipped breakfast every day had a mean increase of 0.21 cm vs. men who ate breakfast every day.
Annual changes in the waist circumference of male participants who skipped breakfast seven times per week was 0.248 cm higher than that of those who did not skip breakfast.
Skipping breakfast was not associated with changes in BMI or waist circumference in women, according to the researchers.
“These associations were particularly pronounced among younger participants,” the researchers wrote. “The increase in the number of obese, young to middle-aged men is a major problem in Japan, and eating breakfast > four times [per] week may prevent obesity in Japanese men.”
