Regarding the influence of obesity on general health of children, scientific literature showed the importance of early management of children's overweight. In terms of oral health, overweight and obese children were shown to have accelerated dental development and increased prevalence of caries.
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the influence of Body Mass Index (BMI) and dietary behaviors on the oral status, eruptions and hygiene in children.
Ninety-two children aged 6-12 years were investigated about the oral hygiene habits, nutritional related behaviors, presence of systemic diseases. Values of BMI and oral status were noted. Statistical analysis was performed.
Significant moderate correlations between the values of BMI with tooth eruption and weak but significantly with dental lesions were determined.
The dietary behaviors and BMI could influence the oral status, eruptions and oral hygiene in children.
关于肥胖对儿童总体健康的影响,科学文献表明早期管理儿童超重具有重要意义。在口腔健康方面,超重和肥胖儿童的牙齿发育加速,龋齿患病率增加。
本研究旨在评估体重指数(BMI)和饮食行为对儿童口腔状况、牙齿萌出和口腔卫生的影响。
对92名6至12岁的儿童进行了口腔卫生习惯、营养相关行为和全身性疾病情况的调查。记录了BMI值和口腔状况,并进行了统计分析。
确定BMI值与牙齿萌出之间存在显著中等相关性,与牙齿病变之间存在较弱但显著的相关性。
饮食行为和BMI会影响儿童的口腔状况、牙齿萌出和口腔卫生。
