Abstract

 A comparative study on Impact of breakfast among adolescents of Bengaluru urban examines the consumption pattern, knowledge about the importance of breakfast, dietary pattern and mental health. It aims to assess the relationship between the breakfast consumption and nutritional status among the selected respondents to assess the nutritional awareness. The study was conducted among 100 adolescents who were likely to respond and aged between 11-16 years. A pretested questionnaire was used to collect the information. Additional general information about their name, age, gender, height, weight, type of family, school attendance etc. were collected. Statistical analyses like percentage, chi square test, mean and standard deviation was employed to analyse the data. In conclusion, this thesis underscores the substantial influence of breakfast habits on adolescent well-being. Through a comprehensive comparative study involving 50 girls and 50 boys, it became evident that boys who maintained a regular breakfast routine exhibited a superior understanding compared to their female counterparts. Interestingly, despite a general awareness of the importance of breakfast, a notable trend among girls was the tendency to skip this crucial meal as a means to manage weight. This finding raises important questions about the intersection of dietary choices, body image, and overall health among adolescent girls. In the end the adolescents were counselled about breakfast habits.
