Pengolahan data dilakukan dengan uji chi-square menggunakan sistem komputerisasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat perbedaan tingkat konsentrasi menggunakan digit symbol test antara siswa dengan asupan energi sarapan baik, kurang, dan sangat kurang (p=0,001) dan tidak terdapat perbedaan tingkat konsentrasi menggunakan digit span test antara siswa dengan asupan energi sarapan baik, kurang, dan sangat kurang (p=0,345). Terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara asupan energi sarapan dengan tingkat konsentrasi menggunakan digit symbol test (p<0,05).<br />Kata kunci: sarapan, asupan energi, konsentrasi, digit symbol test, digit span test</p><p>Abstract</p><p>Indonesia was ranked last in the cognitive skills and educational attainment according to research conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit.Cognitive skills require brain function is maintained by adequate intake of nutrients such as good and varied food, especially breakfast.
