Traub M, et al. - The combined influence of skipping breakfast, overconsumption of soft drinks and screen media on longitudinal weight development in primary schoolchildren was determined herein. Skipping breakfast and the overconsumption of screen media at baseline led to higher odds of abdominal obesity and overweight at follow-up. Promoting balanced breakfast habits and a reduction in screen media consumption were recommended as goals for targeted prevention for healthy weight status and development in primary schoolchildren. Health promoting interventions should synergistically involve children, parents, and schools.
