Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Breakfast omission can essentially impact daily activities and academic performance, leading to diminished energy, poor concentration, mood disturbances, and potentially lower academic accomplishment. Advancing the significance of a nutritious breakfast and ensuring access to such meals is crucial for physical and cognitive prosperity. Examine the effect of breakfast exclusion on daily activities and insightful achievement in specific people. This study intends to evaluate the potential significance of findings in the context of education, students' health, and overall success, thus focusing on existing exploration gaps. The null Hypothesis posits no significant relationship exists between breakfast omission and daily activities or academic achievement, while Alternate Hypothesis suggests a significant relationship exists between breakfast omission and a decline in daily activities and academic achievement. This exhaustive review, approved by the FRPMC Ethical Committee, employed a cross-sectional design with a sample of 400 students. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed during a non-exam period, with statistical analysis conducted utilizing SPSS version 22. It will be a cross-sectional study based on primary data gathered through a FRPMC, Karachi, Pakistan survey. Findings underscore the strong link between skipping breakfast and adverse outcomes, including cognitive function impairment, mood instability, and compromised overall well-being, emphasizing the essential role of breakfast in both physiological health and academic success.
