In addition, infrequent and/or frequent breakfast skipping was associated with depression, lower happiness, posttraumatic stress disorder, loneliness, short sleep, long sleep, sleep problem, restless sleep, sleep problem due to traumatic event, and poor academic performance.Discussion: We found evidence that skipping breakfast was associated with 10 of 15 health risk behaviours, all of nine poor mental health indicators and poor academic performance.Keywords: skipping breakfast, health compromising behaviour, mental health, university students, multi-countryPengpid SPeltzer KDove Medical Pressarticleskipping breakfasthealth compromising behaviourmental healthuniversity studentsmulti-countrySpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 13, Pp 2889-2897 (2020)
