The consumption of food with a high-sugar content is encouraged by the food industry through television (TV) aimed at children and may be associated with dental caries. This study aims to evaluate the influence of TV on the food habits of schoolchildren aged years and its association with dental caries.
This was an observational, epidemiological, and cross-sectional study. Five neighborhoods of Belem District were selected, and then two schools from each neighborhood were drawn (one private and one public). All sixth and seventh grade students were selected. Data were extracted from questionnaires completed by schoolchildren and their parents and the decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT/dmft) indices of the schoolchildren. The indices were carried out by three examiners previously calibrated (κ > .80). Logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the association of variables of study with consumption of cariogenic foods and occurrence of dental caries. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated.
Schoolchildren who watched TV for >90 min were more likely to consume cariogenic foods (OR = 2.38; 95% CI [1.57, 3.60]) and have a DMFT + dmft >1 (OR = 2.10; 95% CI [1.37, 3.26]). Those who consumed cariogenic foods while watching TV were more likely to have DMFT + dmft >1 (OR = 14.75; 95% CI [8.24, 6.40]). Parents who bought foods they saw on TV contributed to a higher consumption of cariogenic foods (OR = 3.29; 95% CI [2.07, 5.24]) and DMFT + dmft >1 (OR = 3.93; 95% CI [2.09, 7.37]) among their children.
TV can influence the eating habits of schoolchildren aged 10 to 12 and the food purchases of their parents, stimulating the consumption of cariogenic foods and contributing to the development of dental caries.
食品工业通过针对儿童的电视(TV)鼓励高糖食品的消费,这可能与龋齿有关。本研究旨在评估电视对岁学龄儿童饮食习惯的影响及其与龋齿的关系。
这是一项观察性、流行病学和横断面研究。选择贝伦区的五个街区,然后从每个街区抽取两所学校(一所私立和一所公立)。所有六年级和七年级的学生都被选中。数据来自学生及其家长填写的问卷以及学生的龋齿、缺失和补牙(DMFT/dmft)指数。这些指数由三位事先经过校准的检查者(κ>.80)进行。进行逻辑回归分析以调查研究变量与致龋食物的消费和龋齿发生的关系。计算比值比(OR)和 95%置信区间(CI)。
观看电视超过 90 分钟的学生更有可能食用致龋食物(OR=2.38;95%CI[1.57, 3.60])且 DMFT+dmft>1(OR=2.10;95%CI[1.37, 3.26])。边看电视边吃致龋食物的学生更有可能 DMFT+dmft>1(OR=14.75;95%CI[8.24, 6.40])。父母购买他们在电视上看到的食物会导致孩子更频繁地食用致龋食物(OR=3.29;95%CI[2.07, 5.24])和 DMFT+dmft>1(OR=3.93;95%CI[2.09, 7.37])。
电视可以影响 10 至 12 岁学龄儿童的饮食习惯以及其父母的食物购买行为,刺激致龋食物的消费并导致龋齿的发生。
