Abstract
There is an increasing trend of skipping meals, especially breakfast and dinner, in China. Previous studies on the association of meal skipping with lipid profiles and blood glucose have yielded inconsistent results. A national representative survey of 47 841 adults (age ≥ 45 y) was conducted in China. Frequency of breakfast, lunch, and dinner consumption were assessed with a questionnaire. Blood triacylglycerols, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and fasting blood glucose were measured using standard methods. Generalized linear models were used to estimate relative concentrations and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Of 37 355 participants included in the analysis, the prevalence of skipping breakfast, lunch, and dinner was 9.06%, 0.67%, and 0.67%, respectively. Breakfast skippers are more likely to reside in rural areas, while lunch and dinner skippers tend to be urban residents. Compared with regular breakfast consumption, skipping breakfast was associated with 10.6% (95% CI, 8.3-12.9%) higher concentrations of triacylglycerols, 5.5% (95% CI, 4.7-6.3%) higher total cholesterol, 7.7% (95% CI, 6.5-8.9%) higher low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, 2.4% (95% CI, 1.5-3.4%)...Continue Reading
