“…The findings of this study show an association between ECC and being overweight, which is similar to the study by Davidson et al 23 in Canada, Marshall et al 24 in Iowa, and Vazquez-Nava et al 25 in Mexico, where ECC was associated with overweight. Studies done by Sharma and Hegde 26 in Bangalore, in Udupi District, and Reddy et al 27 in Bhopal also found an association between dental caries and being overweight in children.…”

A bstract Introduction One of the most prevalent oral diseases affecting preschoolers, early childhood caries (ECC), can significantly lower a child's quality of life. The pain and discomfort that ECC causes will alter the child's eating habits, which will have an impact on both their physical and mental health, as shown by the deviation from the body mass index (BMI). Dental caries and deviation from the normal BMI are both significantly influenced by children's eating habits and socioeconomic status (SES). Aim To determine the association of ECC with BMI, dietary habits, and SES among 3–6-year-old preschool children. Materials and methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 375 preschool children of 3–6 years of age. The decayed, missing, or filled teeth (deft) index was used to determine the caries status. Measurement of height (m) and weight (kg) was done using a stadiometer and electronic weighing machine. For each child, the BMI (kg/m 2 ) was calculated, and the child's body weight status was assessed using Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-based classification. Questionnaires were collected with demographic details, 3 days diet diary, and the SES of parents. The dietary habit and SES were obtained from the healthy eating index-2005 (HEI-2005) score and Modified Kuppuswamy's Scale 2018. All the data were entered and analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software V 20.0. Result The prevalence of ECC was 44.8%. On comparison of mean height, weight, and BMI scores, there was a significant difference in mean weight ( p = 0.006) and BMI ( p = 0.001) among the two study groups. Children with ECC had a lower HEI-2005 score and belonged to a lower social class compared to caries-free children ( p = 0.001). Conclusion Children with ECC are significantly associated with BMI being overweight, or risk of being overweight; lower grades of SES and lower total score of HEI-2005 with poor diet and diet that needs improvement.

“…Oral tissues require nourishment for development, growth, and maintenance, and oral problems can in uence food choices and, ultimately, nutritional status. Prior to tooth eruption, nutritional de ciencies can affect enamel maturation and composition as well as tooth morphology and size (12)(13)(14). Undernutrition in children not only delays teeth development but also results a high number of carious primary teeth and exacerbates the carcinogenicity of dietary sugars.…”

Background Dental caries is a major public health problem globally and a widespread non -communicable disease. Dental caries is more prevalent in school-age children however there are few studies for relation of dental caries with nutritional status. Thus, this is aimed to determine the relation of dental caries with nutritional status among school-age children at Areka town Woliata zone from February 03 - February 22, 2020. Methodology : A community-based cross sectional study was conducted on systematic randomly selected 761 school-age children (6-12years) of Areka town. Data were collected by face-to-face interviewer-administered questionnaire and clinical assessment of dental caries. Data were entered into Epi data 3.2.1 and exported to SPSS 20 for further analysis. Bivariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were used to identify the association of dependent and independent variables. P-value < 0.05 was considered to declare a result as statistically significant. Results Prevalence of dental caries among school-age children was 15.6% with (95% CI, 13.0-18.5%). Nutritional status were 4.3% (95% CI, 2.9–5.8%) of children were underweight and 14.2% (95% CI, 11.7–16.6%) were overweight. The relationship between dental caries with nutritional status was not statistically significant with a p-value (p = 0.32). Factors associated with dental caries were educational status of a mother AOR 3.14, (95% CI, 1.03–9.56), not cleaning teeth AOR 7.70, (95% CI, 4.00-14.85), sugared coffee drinking AOR 3.22, (95% CI, 1.68–6.18.0), sweet food consumption AOR 4.19,(95% CI, 1.76–9.96) and non-consuming milk AOR 5.66,( 95% CI, 1.49–21.49). Conclusion and recommendation: Dental caries were low compared to WHO oral health reports of school-age children. Tooth cleaning habit, parental education, sweet food consumption and milk consumption are associated factors. Therefore, Behavioral intervention on dental hygiene and dietary practices are mandatory for school-age children.
