Summary
The aim was establish the interrelationship between nutrition, behaviour and academic achievements in pupils. Pusryčiai yra būtinas moksleivių dienos valgis; moksleivių, kurie pusryčiauja ir per pusryčius valgo visavertį maistą, mokymosi rodikliai yra geresni, lyginant su nepusryčiaujančiaisiais; visavertė mityba silpnina moksleivių antisocialaus ir agresyvaus elgesio pasireiškimą; fizinis aktyvumas mažina jų neigiamas emocijas ir stresą. Kad mitybos įpročiai vaikystėje lemia suaugusiojo sveikatos būklę [6]. Valgymo įpročių ugdymas pastaruoju metu sulaukia vis daugiau dėmesio, yra svarstoma, kaip vaikų elgesį veikia jų mityba, pusryčių valgymas ar nevalgymas [10].
