Breakfast has been associated with beneficial health effects, such as lower body mass index and better insulin sensitivity. Objective: Determine the impact of breakfast consumption on abdominal obesity. Methods: Descriptive, observational, cross-sectional, non-experimental and correlational research, carried out in 206 obese patients (95 men and 111 women) with an average age of 48±12 years; who underwent anthropometric evaluation (weight, height, BMI, circumference/waist, circumference/hip, waist/height index, waist/hip index); dietary evaluation (24-hour history, breakfast quality index). The statistics were Student's t, ANOVA, Chi square and Kruskal Wallis. Results: The waist circumference of 170 subjects (83%) presented abdominal obesity. Regarding the foods consumed for breakfast, it was low in vegetables and fruits. Regarding the quality of breakfast: 60% consumed a breakfast of improvable quality, 30% of good quality, 7% of poor quality and 3% of insufficient quality. Among the female sex, breakfast of improvable quality predominated; while the poor quality was observed in men and with increasing age the quality decreased. All subjects presented a high cardiovascular risk independent of the quality of the breakfast consumed. No association was found between breakfast consumption and abdominal obesity. Conclusions: Patients have high body fat reserves, the quality of breakfast without quantitative control does not reduce the degree of obesity or cardiovascular risk. |
