500 children with ages ranging between 2 and 13 years and their families joined the study. A detailed questionnaire and a 3-day food intake diary were evaluated to find the relationship between dental caries and dietary habits. It is concluded that the prevalence of caries increases by frequent and high sugar consumption. With lower age and lower caries experience followed a more balanced diet. There was an inverse relationship between caries prevalence and the mothers' educational level. The percentage of children who never or irregularly brushed their teeth was highest in the caries active group.
500名年龄在2至13岁之间的儿童及其家庭参与了这项研究。研究人员评估了一份详细的问卷和一份为期3天的食物摄入日记，以找出龋齿与饮食习惯之间的关系。研究得出结论，频繁且大量摄入糖分会增加龋齿的患病率。年龄越小、龋齿经历越少的儿童，饮食越均衡。龋齿患病率与母亲的教育水平呈负相关。在龋齿活跃组中，从不刷牙或不定期刷牙的儿童比例最高。
