Men who quit breakfast are prone to cardiovascular disease

An American study has published that men who skip breakfast are at a higher risk of heart attack or cardiovascular disease than those who eat breakfast.

Published in the July 22 issue of Circulation, a Harvard University School of Public Health study analyzed daily eating habits as well as monitoring health problems of nearly 27,000 men aged 45- 82 between 1992-2008.

The results confirm that the risk of heart attacks or cardiovascular deaths in men who skip regular breakfast is 27% higher than those who eat breakfast.

In addition, according to statistics, breakfast people often eat more than those who skip an average breakfast a day, which indicates that those who skip breakfast often do not make up for the lack of food.

Research author Leah Cahill said quitting breakfast can lead to many dangerous factors including obesity, high blood pressure, increased cholesterol and diabetes, and conditions that lead to heart attacks.

Ms. Cahill also recommends that although there is no clear study yet, women should be interested in this result.

According to the research results, people who skip breakfast are often in the younger age group, are less active and drink more alcohol, in addition to smoking, working all day and not married.
