The dental health of children in western countries has improved without a concomitant decrease in the mean sucrose consumption. Our aim was to analyse the association of long-term sucrose consumption with dental health in children representing the highest (n = 33, 18 boys) and the lowest 5 percentiles (n = 33, 21 boys) of sucrose intake, in a study where food consumption was prospectively recorded from infancy to 10 years of age. The sum of decayed, missing and filled teeth in the primary (dmft) and permanent (DMFT) teeth was assessed. Children's sucrose intake in the high intake group was constantly higher than in their counterparts (p < 0.001), and already exceeded 10% of energy intake (E %) at 2 years of age. The mean +/- SD of the dmft + DMFT scores was higher in the high than in the low sucrose intake group (3.9 +/- 3.9 and 1.9 +/- 2.5, respectively; p = 0.032). We conclude that a persistently high sucrose intake increases the risk of dental caries in children.
西方国家儿童的口腔健康状况有所改善，但其平均蔗糖摄入量并未相应减少。我们的目的是分析长期蔗糖摄入量与儿童口腔健康之间的关联，这些儿童代表了蔗糖摄入量最高的5%（n = 33，18名男孩）和最低的5%（n = 33，21名男孩），在一项从婴儿期到10岁前瞻性记录食物摄入量的研究中。评估了乳牙（dmft）和恒牙（DMFT）的龋失补牙总数。高摄入量组儿童的蔗糖摄入量始终高于对照组（p < 0.001），并且在2岁时就已超过能量摄入量的10%（E%）。高蔗糖摄入量组的dmft + DMFT分数的平均值±标准差高于低蔗糖摄入量组（分别为3.9±3.9和1.9±2.5；p = 0.032）。我们得出结论，持续高蔗糖摄入量会增加儿童患龋齿的风险。
