“…Another study that examined the relationship between BMI and dental caries also found no association between these variables [29], although its sample included both genders and different age group (10-12 years). However, a study conducted in Saudi Arabia [35] found partial positive correlation between BMI and DMFT analyzing men and women aged 18 years or older. Analyzing women aged 13-32 in Spain [10], the results regarding dental caries were inconclusive, since the etiology of dental caries is multifactorial and influenced by diet, oral hygiene and saliva.…”

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between nutritional status and dental caries in Brazilian female adolescents with and without behavioral risk for eating disorders. Material and Methods: Cross-sectional study involving 60 girls, 15 to18 years old, randomly selected from public and private schools. Risk behavior for eating disorder was assessed by the Bulimic Investigatory Test of Edinburgh, anthropometric measurements were taken to calculate the body mass index, dental examinations were performed to verify the caries experience and a questionnaire to collect sociodemographic data was applied. Data were analyzed descriptively and analytically using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 18.0 software. The level of statistical significance was set at 5%, with a 95% confidence interval. Results: Most of the girls studied in public school (75,0%), had no partner (95,0%) and had a monthly family income above the minimum wage (63,3%). The prevalence of dental caries was high (86.7%). The most used practice for weight loss was the act of purge (18.3%). There was no statistically significant association between dental caries and Body Mass Index (p=0,655), however, it was observed that adolescents with high Body Mass Index had a higher risk for Eating Disorders (p<0,05). Conclusion: The nutritional status was not associated with dental caries, however the monitoring of girls with high Body Mass Indexis important due to the increased risk of eating disorders.

“…Results of poison regression model showed that primary dmft gives negative association with body mass index and positive association with permanent and overall DMFT, another study [7] also reported significant positive association between permanent DMFT and body mass index.…”

“…Studies showed that Body Mass Index (BMI) which derives from the values of mass and weight of an individual gives the association with many diseases including dental caries. A study conducted in Taif University of outpatient clinic showed that 42.2% of subjects with high prevalence of dental caries were either overweight or obese [7]. A study of Thessaloniki, Greece showed that overweight children with 1.36 times and obese children with 1.99 times were more likely to have higher dmft than normal weight children [8].…”

Dental caries or tooth decay is a breakdown of teeth due to bacterial activities, in bacterial breakdown hard tissues is one of the damage of dental caries; it becomes a public health concern, Studies showed that body mass index gives association with many diseases including dental caries. Our objective of this study was to drive the relationship of body mass index and dietary habits on dental caries experience of Pakistani children. The data for this study is the part of a multicenter country wide study being conducted to determine the eruption of permanent teeth and dental caries of Pakistani children. Data from Larkana and Peshawar the cities of two major Provinces of Pakistan were examined. 3358 children of just erupted teeth of aged between 5 to 19 years from these two cities were examined. 64.1% data were received from Peshawar city and 35.9% data were obtained from Larkana city. Results showed 52.2% were female samples and 47.8% were male sample. Outcome of Mann-Whitney U test gives the evidence that there was significant mean difference observed for carries of two cities, poisson regression model evident that the association of body mass index with carries experience. In our study mean permanent caries among Peshawar city children was almost double than Larkana city, even though height, weight and body mass index of Peshawar children higher ,one of the reason of Larkana child protection from caries was more used of milk and rise as compared to Peshawar Children. This study concludes that permanent DMFT risk for Peshawar city children was higher, and primary dmft had negative association with body mass index. Dental Carries in Larkana and ObjectiveThe primary objective of this study was to report the mean and Standard Deviation of primary, permanent, and overall dental carries among Larkana and Peshawar city children from Pakistan and formulation of an appropriate statistical model to evaluate and predict the dental caries using the information of body mass index using Poisson regression (Figure 1). Materials and MethodsData for this study is the part of a secondary baseline data for dental caries of a currently going project of Pakistani children, funded by Higher Education Commission, Islamabad, titled 'Time and Sequence of Eruption Teeth of Pakistani Children [12]. The co-author of this study is the Principal Investigator of that Project. Sampling techniqueWe used secondary data, but in project [12] Multistage Systematic Cluster Random sampling was performed to collect the data on study variables: age, gender, and type of school. The dentists also examined the children for dental caries and eruption of teeth. Study populationData were collected from school going children from Larkana, Citation: Ali SA, Khan N, Uddin M (2017) Dental Carries in Larkana and Peshawar Children's: Effect of Body Mass Index using Poisson Regression Model.

“…This is in accordance with previous studies (5,7). Although there are a few studies that have found an association between the two criteria (8,9). The results of the study can be justified by the fact that frequent consumption of cariogenic food is the only link between the two multifactorial entities.…”
