Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To measure the association between dental caries and obesity in adolescents aged 12 to 15 years attending state and private schools.

BASIC RESEARCH DESIGN

Cross-sectional study.

RESEARCH SETTING

State and private schools in the state of Paraiba, Brazil.

PARTICIPANTS

1665 obese and 1665 normal-weight adolescents.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES

These were chosen by means of an anthropometric study using height/age and weight/height indices, adopting as baseline the National Center for Health Statistics indices. The diagnostic criteria for caries were those of the World Health Organization (1997).

RESULTS

The average DMFT for obese adolescents from state schools was 4.27 and for those of normal weight it was 4.25 (p = 0.7802). In private schools, the corresponding figures were 1.90 and 1.91, respectively (p = 0.1151). In state schools, the caries prevalence amongst the obese group was 50.9% and amongst those of normal weight, 52.4% (p = 0.5393). In private schools, it was 9.0% amongst the obese group and 9.6% amongst those of normal weight (p 0.6790).

CONCLUSIONS

There was no statistically significant association between dental caries and obesity. Caries levels were higher amongst adolescents attending state schools.

摘要

目的

测量就读于公立和私立学校的12至15岁青少年龋齿与肥胖之间的关联。

基础研究设计

横断面研究。

研究背景

巴西帕拉伊巴州的公立和私立学校。

参与者

1665名肥胖青少年和1665名体重正常的青少年。

主要观察指标

这些指标通过人体测量学研究选取，使用身高/年龄和体重/身高指数，并采用美国国家卫生统计中心的指数作为基线。龋齿的诊断标准采用世界卫生组织（1997年）的标准。

结果

公立学校肥胖青少年的平均龋失补牙数（DMFT）为4.27，体重正常青少年为4.25（p = 0.7802）。在私立学校，相应数字分别为1.90和1.91（p = 0.1151）。在公立学校，肥胖组的龋齿患病率为50.9%，体重正常组为52.4%（p = 0.5393）。在私立学校，肥胖组为9.0%，体重正常组为9.6%（p = 0.6790）。
