Abstract

Objective: Youth frequently miss meals and experience hunger, yet no studies have assessed how these experiences relate to changes in daily emotional states. This daily diary study examined associations of missing breakfast, missing lunch, and hunger with daily positive and negative affect among young adolescents.

Methods: A community sample of 133 grade 5 and 6 students (50.4% boys, Mage = 10.77, 19.5% BIPOC) from two public schools completed baseline socio-demographic measures at the beginning of the study and daily measures at the end of the school day over 5 consecutive days. Measures included positive and negative affect, breakfast, lunch, and hunger. Multilevel regression models were constructed to test the associations.

Results: Among participating youth, 27.8% missed breakfast at least once, 15.0% missed lunch at least once, and 26.3% felt hungry at least once. Missing breakfast was associated with increased negative affect (B = 0.36, p = .030) and missing lunch was related to both increased negative affect (B = 0.52, p = .019) and decreased positive affect (B = -0.80, p = .002). Hunger was not related to daily affect.

Conclusion: This study provides a unique view of youths' experiences of missing meals, hunger, and daily emotional states. The findings underscore the importance of youth being adequately nourished through school meal programs. Clinicians should screen for and address missing meals among their young patients.

食物与情绪：青少年缺餐与情绪之间的日常关联。

研究目的青少年经常会错过用餐时间并感到饥饿，但还没有研究对这些经历与日常情绪状态变化之间的关系进行评估。这项每日日记研究探讨了错过早餐、错过午餐和饥饿感与青少年日常积极和消极情绪的关系：来自两所公立学校的 133 名五、六年级学生（50.4% 为男生，Mage = 10.77，19.5% 为 BIPOC）在研究开始时完成了社会人口学基线测量，并在连续 5 天的放学后完成了每日测量。测量项目包括积极和消极情绪、早餐、午餐和饥饿感。我们建立了多层次回归模型来检验两者之间的关联：在参与调查的青少年中，27.8%的人至少错过一次早餐，15.0%的人至少错过一次午餐，26.3%的人至少感到一次饥饿。错过早餐与消极情绪增加有关（B = 0.36，p = .030），错过午餐与消极情绪增加（B = 0.52，p = .019）和积极情绪减少（B = -0.80，p = .002）有关。饥饿与日常情绪无关：本研究以独特的视角揭示了青少年缺餐、饥饿和日常情绪状态的经历。研究结果强调了青少年通过学校膳食计划获得充足营养的重要性。临床医生应筛查并解决青少年患者的缺餐问题。
