Evidence from Bangladesh remains limited. This study examined the associations between breakfast consumption patterns, mental health status, and academic performance among Bangladeshi university students.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n A cross\u2010sectional study was conducted among 503 students from 15 public and private universities across Bangladesh between July and September 2025. Data were collected using a structured self\u2010administered questionnaire assessing demographic and lifestyle characteristics, breakfast consumption frequency, mental health status, and academic performance. Breakfast consumption was categorized as regular (\u2265\u20095 days\/week) or irregular (\u2264\u20094 days\/week). Mental health was assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale\u201010 (PSS\u201010), Generalized Anxiety Disorder\u20107 (GAD\u20107), and Patient Health Questionnaire\u20109 (PHQ\u20109). Chi\u2010square tests were used to examine associations, and ordinal logistic regression was applied to identify predictors of academic performance.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Irregular breakfast consumption was prevalent among students. Breakfast consumption was significantly associated with perceived stress (\n \u03c7<\/jats:italic>\n 2\u2009<\/jats:sup>\n =\u2009272.73,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.001), anxiety (\n \u03c7<\/jats:italic>\n 2\u2009<\/jats:sup>\n =\u2009194.52,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.001), depression (\n \u03c7<\/jats:italic>\n 2\u2009<\/jats:sup>\n =\u2009188.84,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.001), academic performance (\n \u03c7<\/jats:italic>\n 2\u2009<\/jats:sup>\n =\u2009284.99,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.001), and physical activity (\n \u03c7<\/jats:italic>\n 2\u2009<\/jats:sup>\n =\u200926.74,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.044). In adjusted ordinal logistic regression, regular breakfast consumption was strongly associated with higher academic performance (AOR\u2009=\u20093.80, 95% CI: 2.44\u20135.92,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.001). Perceived stress (AOR\u2009=\u20091.05,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.022) and anxiety (AOR\u2009=\u20091.10,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.001) showed modest associations with academic performance, whereas depression was not significant after adjustment. The model demonstrated moderate explanatory power (Nagelkerke\n R<\/jats:italic>\n 2\u2009<\/jats:sup>\n =\u20090.314).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Regular breakfast consumption is independently associated with better academic performance and more favorable mental health outcomes among Bangladeshi university students. Promoting regular breakfast habits may support both academic success and student well\u2010being.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/hsr2.72270","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,3]],"date-time":"2026-04-03T04:46:51Z","timestamp":1775191611000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Breakfast Consumption and Its Association With Mental Health Assessed by PSS\u201010, GAD\u20107, and PHQ\u20109 and Academic Performance Among University Students in Bangladesh: A Cross\u2010Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1451-8882","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juwel","family":"Rana","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Food Engineering Daffodil International University Dhaka Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nur Mohammed Imran","family":"Hossain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Food Engineering Gopalganj Science and Technology University Gopalganj Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zannatul","family":"Ferdoush","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Food Engineering Daffodil International University Dhaka Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Md.
