Association Between Breakfast Consumption Habits and Academic Concentration and Performance in University Students

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between breakfast consumption habits and classroom concentration and academic performance among university students. An online questionnaire survey was conducted with 22 students from the Faculty of Human Care at Toto University. Approximately 60% of the participants reported consuming breakfast fewer than three times per week. Students who habitually consumed breakfast tended to show more stable levels of concentration and preparedness before classes. However, no clear association was observed between breakfast frequency and concentration or comprehension. These findings suggest that breakfast consumption may contribute more to the stabilization of daily routines and learning conditions than directly to academic performance.
