To explore the relationship between parents' education levels, children obesity, children oral health and oral-related sleep disorders.
Prevention of oral diseases in children is important for their long-term health. Parents play a crucial role in the health and wellness of their children. As such, it is important for parents to be well-informed about the importance of their children's oral health, as well as the steps they can take to ensure that their children receive the best possible care.
Observational cross-sectional study. At the time of enrollment data regarding parents' employment status and parents' education level were collected. We also collected BMI and anamnestic data regarding the presence or not of oral-related sleep disorders in the last 3 months: snoring, chronic mouth breathing, sleep bruxism. Oral health was also evaluated for each subject through the DMFT (decayed, missing and filled teeth) index.
Parents' education levels influence several health outcomes, including oral health and the risk of obesity. In turn, obesity can represent a risk factor for oral-related sleep disturbances. Parents play a crucial role in the health and wellness of their children. As such, it is important for parents to be knowledgeable about the importance of their children's health, as well as the steps they can take to ensure that their children receive the best possible care.
探讨父母受教育程度、儿童肥胖、儿童口腔健康与口腔相关睡眠障碍之间的关系。
预防儿童口腔疾病对其长期健康很重要。父母在孩子的健康和健康中起着至关重要的作用。因此，父母了解孩子口腔健康的重要性以及他们可以采取哪些措施确保孩子得到最好的护理非常重要。
观察性横断面研究。在入组时收集了父母就业状况和父母教育程度的数据。我们还收集了 BMI 和过去 3 个月内是否存在口腔相关睡眠障碍的病史数据：打鼾、慢性口呼吸、睡眠磨牙症。还通过 DMFT（龋齿、缺失和补牙）指数对每位受试者的口腔健康进行了评估。
父母的教育水平影响着多种健康结果，包括口腔健康和肥胖风险。反过来，肥胖可能是口腔相关睡眠障碍的一个危险因素。父母在孩子的健康和健康中起着至关重要的作用。因此，父母了解孩子健康的重要性以及他们可以采取哪些措施确保孩子得到最好的护理非常重要。
