Almost a third of children regularly go without breakfast before school and are more likely than classmates to be inactive, unfit and obese(极胖的), research shows.
The study of 4,326 children, aged 10-16, in England was reported in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition and found that 26.6% of boys and 38.6% of girls skipped breakfast some or all of the time. Boys often blame lack of time, while many girls missed breakfast because they believe doing so would help them lose weight.
"We found that children who skip breakfast either occasionally or routinely are less fit, less active and more likely to be overweight or obese than those who always eat breakfast," said lead author Dr Gavin Sandercock, a lecturer in clinical physiology at the University of Essex. "Children with the healthiest weight were always those who regularly had breakfast before heading to school.
"These findings are worrying because we found more obesity and lower levels of physical activity among skippers, which is of great concern because these children are more likely to develop chronic disease in adulthood like cancer, heart disease and diabetes," added Sandercock.
Until now it has been thought that children who missed breakfast were more likely to be obese because they snacked during the day and ate late at night. But the study suggests that their inactive lifestyles may also play a key role.
"This research should concern parents because they are putting their children at a higher risk of being overweight unless they make sure they eat breakfast before leaving the house, and are also increasing their risk of being unfit and inactive," said Sandercock. "It’s of great concern that 32% of parents don’t do that, especially as we already know that kids’ concentration and ability to learn is worse when they miss breakfast."
Tam Fry, founder of the Child Growth Foundation, said the study underlined the importance of breakfast for everyone. "Although 68% of the children studied always ate breakfast, there are areas of the country where, tragically, very few are given breakfast at home. That is why breakfast clubs at school are hugely important for them — not only for their physical fitness but also for their fitness to learn," said Fry.
But Sandercock said that while breakfast clubs are a good idea, they take away from parents the responsibility of preparing food for their offspring.
Dr Gavin Sandercock suggested that children who miss morning meal are more like to have ______in their adult life.
选项
答案
chronic disease
解析
根据题干中的Dr Gavin Sandercock和adult life将本题出处定位到第四段。题干中的Dr Gavin Sandercock suggested与added Sandercock对应,children who miss morning meal与these children(these children指代本段前面提到的skippers,而skippers也就是第三段提到的children who skip breakfast)对应,are more like to为原文信息重现,have与develop对应,in their adult life与in adulthood对应,故develop后的chronic disease即为本题答案。
