A survey, including a clinical and radiographic examination for dental health, was carried out on 19 6-year-old Finnish immigrant children and 24 Swedish children in a Stockholm suburb. The parents were interviewed about their children's and their own dietary habits. The study showed generally worse dietary habits in the Finnish than in Swedish group. Both the children and the parents in the Finnish group had more food intakes per day than the Swedes. The Finnish children had a significantly more frequent consumption of cariologically unsuitable products such as soft-drinks, sweets, lozenges and chewing-gum than the Swedish children and a majority of the Finnish parents took sugar in their coffee and/or tea. The Finnish children had also more filled and carious teeth. The study revealed a great need for both general dietary and dental health information in the studied group of Finnish immigrant families with pre-schoolchildren.
对斯德哥尔摩郊区的19名6岁芬兰移民儿童和24名瑞典儿童进行了一项调查，包括牙齿健康的临床和影像学检查。就其子女及自身的饮食习惯对家长进行了访谈。研究表明，芬兰组的饮食习惯总体上比瑞典组差。芬兰组的儿童和家长每天的食物摄入量都比瑞典人多。与瑞典儿童相比，芬兰儿童明显更频繁地食用从龋齿学角度来看不合适的产品，如软饮料、糖果、含片和口香糖，而且大多数芬兰家长在咖啡和/或茶中加糖。芬兰儿童的补过牙和龋齿也更多。该研究表明，在所研究的有学龄前儿童的芬兰移民家庭群体中，对一般饮食和牙齿健康信息有很大需求。
