Indonesia Winda Irwanti. Yhona Paratmanitya INTRODUCTION Breakfast which defined as meal in the morning, has been widely shown to affect human health, especially children . Scientific data increasingly shows that breakfast plays an important role in ensuring the good health and wellbeing of an individual . Evidence suggests that breakfast consumption may improve cognitive function related to memory, exam test score and the level of school attendance . Mostly school age children have many activities outside house, resulting in delayed or missed breakfast whereas skipping breakfast in children lead to empty stomach and reduced blood sugar levels . , causing weakness, drowsiness, difficult to accept the lesson, as well as decline in the passion to learn and the ability to respond . American study titled Bogalusa Heart Study with the subject as much as 467 children showed that children who skip breakfast tend to have deficient intake of several nutrients calcium, thiamine, iron, folate, zinc, vitamin A and vitamin B6. Some studies also show that people who skip breakfast, it will not be able to compensate for the lack of nutrient intake and energy through another mealtime . Several recent studies also showed a statistically significant relationship between between regular breakfast consumption and a prevalence of overweight/obesity. The AuOKkio-alla SaluteAy survey also showed children who skip breakfast run a higher risk of being overweight or obese compared to their peers who eat a healthy breakfast . This can be explained by evidence that breakfast helps to regulate energy intake during the rest of the day. in fact, due to a heighten feeling of hunger, children and adolescents who regularly skip breakfast tend to eat more food at their next meal especially highdensity, high-fat food . Furthermore, children who skipped breakfast less frequently fulfilled the recommended daily intake of certain types of food, such as fruit and vegetables . , healthy food that believed to prevent obesity. Study in Egypt showed 34. 9% of the total 2818 children had missed breakfast . study in Indonesia related to breakfast in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. Jakarta showed that 4% of the 58 subjects had skipping breakfast habit . The importance of breakfast and the impact of skipping breakfast are not followed by a significant attention from the public and stakeholders in Indonesia, proven by a lack of data showing the prevalence of breakfast coverage nationally and regionally, and yet there are also data on the average nutrient intake of breakfast. In 2012 there were 74,572 primary school children in Bantul District who are the future generation of the nation . Until now, there is no regional or national data that describe the condition of childrenAos breakfast habits in this area. This resulted in a lack of government and nongovernment programs focus on breakfast habits, so that the public, especially the parents also become less aware of the importance of breakfast. If this problem is not immediately addressed, the impacts that occur will affect the quality of human resources in the future. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was cross sectional study.

In Egypt, breakfasts were consumed by 71. 6% of students on daily basis, lowest percentages when compared to lunch and dinner which consumed by 92. 6% of students, respectively . These evidences showed that breakfast tended to become the meal most frequently skipped. The most common responses reported by students for not having breakfast were not having enough time to consume it . 1%), not being hungry . 9%) and breakfast were not available at home . 7%) (Figure . We also found that 15. children assumed that their mothers were breakfast skippers, while 23. 0% assumed that their fathers also had that habit.

Review by Affinita also stated that the main reasons for children skipping breakfast seem to be related to: lack of time and lack of morning appetite, but for adolescents, the reasons is more concern about their body weight . Another reason could be the discrepancy between the parentsAo work Winda Irwanti. Yhona Paratmanitya schedule and the start times at school, so parents do not have time to prepare breakfast, leaving this to children, while these ones from convenience or from the desire to sleep more . Regarding the conditions that would enable them to consume breakfast every day.

Cheng stated that motherAos working status did not have a significant effect on breakfast skipping in their children, but lack on parental emphasis on breakfast significantly increase the risk of breakfast skipping . In contrary with study in Egypt, daily intake of breakfast was significantly higher among students of vocational schools, of highly educated mothers, and middle socioeconomic status. Low socioeconomic status are associated with less probability of daily intake of breakfast (OR=0. The absence of a relationship between education and occupation of parents with childrenAos breakfast habits in this study may be due to the limitations of the study which not assessing the economic level of the family. Economic level may be a mediator of the relationship between education and occupation of parents with childrenAos breakfast habits. There were significant relationship between perception of children towards fatherAos breakfast habits with children breakfast habits . <0. This prevalence ratio describes that children who perceive their fathers were regular breakfast eaters will have 2. 8 times greater chance to have good breakfast habits than children who have father with irregular breakfast habits. Same pattern also occurred in the relationship between children perception toward motherAos breakfast habits and children breakfast habits with prevalence ratio 3. <0. This result was is line with study in adolescent by Pearson which gives results that adolescents who perceive that their mother often skip meals, more risky to skip breakfast (OR = 1. 48, p <0. 05 for men and OR = 1. 93, p<0. 001 for wome. and also with Keski-Rahkonen which showed that parental breakfast eating was the statistically most significant factor associated with adolescent breakfast eating . Children of breakfast-skipping parents were much more likely to skip breakfast than children of regular breakfast eaters. Parents represent the basic environment in which children live, grow up and develop, so they watch and imitate the adults around them, look at them in order to learn the proper behavior for everything, from saying AupleaseAy and AuthankyouAy, to learn about computers, sports or nutrition . Children model the behaviors of those around them, and when children are young, parents . nd sometimes sibling. are the main role models in their lives . Therefore children are likely to adopt the same eating habits as their parents. Since parents have this biggest influence at this time in a childAos life, it is important that they set good examples . Parents have a high degree of control over the environments and experiences of their children. Food preferences are shaped by a combination of genetic and environmental factors . This suggests that breakfast skipping is not a problem that can be solved solely by approaching teenagers or children only, breakfast endorsing programs that address the entire family or just parents maybe more effective . Findings from this research indicate that parentAos presence at the meal time especially breakfast, are very important for improving positive breakfast habits of children . Cheng revealed that lack of perceived parental emphasis on breakfast and not believing that breakfast could help concentration in class were significantly related to breakfast skipping . The family meal Kebiasaan sarapan anak berhubungan dengan persepsi anak terhadap kebiasaan sarapan orangtuanya represents an important moment of interaction and The presence of at least one parent during the evening meal is associated with a lower risk of skipping breakfast and in addition also supports healthy eating habits, such as a lower risk of poor consumption of fruit, vegetables, and dairy foods and in adolescents . Merten also found that one of the important factors of adolescent eating breakfast was having at least one parent home in the morning . Skipping breakfast reflects more than simply meal timing preferences. It appears to be one component of frequently co-occurring healthcompromising behaviors. Individuals who skip breakfast may careless about their health than individuals who always eat breakfast . , presume that parents who skip breakfast might be careless to the health on their children compared to parents who are breakfast eater. children, so children may wake up earlier in order to have enough time for breakfast, and parents also need to create supportive home food environment by providing nutritious foods at home in the morning. Children might have desire for breakfast, but if there is no food, of course they would dismiss their ACKNOWLEDGEMENT We would like to thank Hibah Dosen Pemula 2013.
