[The frequency of breakfast and snack intake by pupils of primary schools in Biala Podlaska].
The aim of this work was an attempt to assess the frequencies of breakfast and snack intake by schoolchildren and to identity its determinants. The study was carried out on spring in 2000, and included 2758 boys and girls aged 10-12 years, schoolchildren from nine primary schools in Biała Podlaska. It was found that more than 11% of schoolchildren had no breakfast at home, moreover 43% of boys and 53% of girls had no snack at school. The correlation between snack consumption at school and subjectively perceived living standard of their parents was significant in girls only (r = 0.26; p < or = 0.05).
