Rong and colleagues evaluated data from 6,550 adults aged 40 to 75 years participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III 1988 to 1994 who had no history of cardiovascular disease or cancer and who were followed for an average of 18 years. They found that participants who never consumed breakfast had an 87% higher risk of cardiovascular disease-specific mortality than those who ate breakfast every day.
