Impaired development that causes stunting is one of the most common health problems in Indonesia. In particular, the highest number of cases of stunting in Indonesia was reported in the East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) province. Previous studies have shown a tendency for deteriorating oral hygiene in children with a poor nutritional status. In addition, a higher proportion of oral has been reported in children with poor oral hygiene. However, the relationship between populations of oral and stunting has not been studied before. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the oral profile in the dental biofilms of healthy and stunted children aged 6-7 years. The participants were 60 elementary school students in the Nangapanda District, Ende, NTT, Indonesia. In this study, real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to examine dental biofilm samples from the healthy (n = 31) and stunted (n = 29) groups. The results revealed that seven oral species were found in all groups. However, the number of four oral species significantly differed between the healthy and stunted groups: , , , and . This is the first study to demonstrate a potential association between oral species and stunting in children.
发育障碍导致的身材矮小是印度尼西亚最常见的健康问题之一。特别是，印度尼西亚身材矮小的病例数量最多的是东努沙登加拉省（NTT）。先前的研究表明，营养状况差的儿童的口腔卫生状况有恶化的趋势。此外，有报道称，口腔卫生状况差的儿童中，口腔 的比例更高。然而，口腔 种群与身材矮小之间的关系以前尚未得到研究。因此，本研究旨在分析年龄在 6-7 岁的健康和身材矮小儿童的牙菌斑中的口腔 谱。参与者是印度尼西亚东努沙登加拉省恩ende 市 Nangapanda 区的 60 名小学生。在这项研究中，使用实时聚合酶链反应检查了来自健康组（n = 31）和身材矮小组（n = 29）的牙菌斑样本。结果表明，所有组中都发现了七种口腔 种。然而，四种口腔 种在健康组和身材矮小组之间的数量存在显著差异： ， ， ，和 。这是第一项表明儿童口腔 种与身材矮小之间存在潜在关联的研究。
