Keywords:
upper elementary school students, determinant of health, breakfast consumption behaviorsAbstract
This descriptive research aims to study breakfast consumption behaviors and the health determinants related to these behaviors among elementary school students in the Suphanburi municipality. The sample consisted of 357 students, selected through multistage random sampling. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman's rank-order correlation.
The results showed that most students were female (80.10%). A significant 96.10% reported regularly consuming breakfast, and their average understanding of breakfast consumption was 7.18 (SD = .79). Most students' parents were also female (79.80%), and 32.60% of the parents had a bachelor's degree. Furthermore, 95.50% of parents exhibited breakfast consumption behaviors, and 90.20% prepared breakfast for their children. The study identified a positive relationship between health determinants (from students and parents) and breakfast consumption behaviors, with a p-value of < .05. This included students' understanding of breakfast consumption (r = .101) and parents’ education level (r = .097). Conversely, negative relationships were found between students' breakfast consumption behaviors and their bedtime (r = -.153), awake time (r = -.123), and parents' preparation of breakfast (r = -.257)
