Abstract

Background: Less breakfast frequency is a recognized risk factor for health. However,there is scarce epidemiological evidence regarding the relationships between the breakfast frequency and skeletal muscle pain. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the relationship between the breakfast frequency and the skeletal muscle pain in Chinese college students. Methods: A Cohort study was conducted among 2263 Chinese college students. Musculoskeletal pain and breakfast frequency were assessed with a self-reported questionnaire. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to testify the association between breakfast frequency and musculoskeletal pain. Results: After adjustment for potential confounding factors, the results showed significant differences in the risk of musculoskeletal pain with different breakfast frequency. Conclusions: Less breakfast frequency level was independently related to a higher self-reported prevalence of skeletal muscle pain in collage students.The findings suggest that higher breakfast frequency may have a potentially beneficial effect on the prevention of skeletal muscle pain.
