Systemic and Oral Health Parameters in Eutrophic and Overweight/Obese Adolescents: A Cross-Sectional Study
To date, studies focusing on oral health in obese adolescents have provided controversial data. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate systemic and oral health parameters in eutrophic and overweight/obese adolescents. In total, 100 adolescents, mean aged 13.33 ± 2.04 years, were di...

description | To date, studies focusing on oral health in obese adolescents have provided controversial data. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate systemic and oral health parameters in eutrophic and overweight/obese adolescents. In total, 100 adolescents, mean aged 13.33 ± 2.04 years, were divided into two groups: 59 overweight/obese adolescents in the study group (SG) and 41 eutrophic-weight adolescents in the control group (CG). Chi-squared and Fisher exact tests were performed to compare dichotomous and categorical variables between the two groups. The subjects in the SG (mean aged 13.21 ± 2.21) reported a body mass index (BMI) of 29.05 ± 4.09 kg/m(2), corresponding to over 95° percentile for both genders, and the subjects in the CG (mean aged 13.49 ± 1.77) reported a BMI of 18.26 ± 4.81 kg/m(2), corresponding to 25° percentile for both genders. In the SG, the serum level of 25-hydroxy-vitamin D was significantly lower (p-value < 0.001), whereas fasting blood glucose (p = 0.006), waist circumference, and hip circumference were significantly higher (p-value < 0.001). Plaque Index (PI), Plaque Control Record (PCR), Oral Hygiene Index (OHI), Gingival Index (GI), and Gingival bleeding index (GBI) depicted a significantly worse level of oral health in the SG. Moreover, the number of subjects with caries was significantly higher in the SG. Nutritional and physical activity status according to the Mediterranean Diet Quality Index for children and teenagers (KIDMED test) and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-Adolescent) were reported to be significanlty better in the CG. In light of our results, obesity and poor oral health coexist in a cohort of adolescents. A screening of oral health status should be considered in obese subjects to focus resources on therapeutic interventions aiming at improving oral health. |
