This review aims to determine the two-way relationship between stunting and ECC in developing countries worldwide.
The procedure in this study was carried out using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis-Rapid Review protocol. Article searches were carried out using databases Cochrane and PubMed. In addition, searches were also carried out using backward and forward snowballing techniques to identify articles that were not detected through database searches.
Nine observational epidemiological articles were found in children aged six months to six years, published in 2015-2020. Five articles discussed the features of ECC in stunted children, and the other five discussed stunting in children with caries in their primary teeth.
Several studies found associations between severe ECC and stunting, with ECC and stunting as both independent and dependent variables, suggesting a bi-directional relationship, also supported by literature on the physiological relationship between oral health and nutrition.
本综述旨在确定全球发展中国家发育迟缓与 ECC 之间的双向关系。
本研究采用系统评价和荟萃分析快速综述的首选报告项目进行。文章检索使用 Cochrane 和 PubMed 数据库进行。此外，还使用回溯和前向滚雪球技术进行了搜索，以确定未通过数据库搜索检测到的文章。
在 2015 年至 2020 年间，共发现了 9 篇关于 6 个月至 6 岁儿童的观察性流行病学文章。其中 5 篇文章讨论了发育迟缓儿童 ECC 的特征，另外 5 篇文章讨论了患有原发性龋齿的儿童的发育迟缓问题。
几项研究发现严重的 ECC 与发育迟缓之间存在关联，ECC 和发育迟缓既是独立的也是依赖的变量，这表明存在双向关系，这也得到了口腔健康和营养之间生理关系的文献支持。
