Overall, 44 students reported greater breakfast consumption rates and 14 claimed greater nutrient intake. Before the study, at-risk and non-at-risk students demonstrated a “statistically significant (F = 3.7, d.f. = 1, p < 0.05)” difference in days absent, at 11.5 and 6.5, respectively. (Kleinman et al., 2002) Subsequently, students who improved their nutrient intake saw absenteeism reduced by 4.4 days. While researchers monitored reading, social studies, science, and math scores, only mathematics experienced “significantly related to changes in nutrient intake (F = 3.3, d.f. = 2, p < 0.05)” (Kleinman et al.,
