چکیده
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the quality of morning nutrition of children in primary school, related to the residence environment and the family educational level. We included in our study 220 children in the age group 8-10, studying in urban and rural schools. They answered a 24-itemed questionnaire regarding their morning nutrition. Nutrition state, health state and school performance were evaluated. We found that 9.1% of all the children skip breakfast and midmorning snack. Most frequently they have margarine, salami, jam or cheese sandwiches and tea as breakfast. The free "milk and roll" are daily consumed by less than 45 % of the subjects. We did not find significant disorders in their nutrition and health state. Educational activities for a healthy nutrition are necessary.
