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 parameters eutrophic overweight/obese adolescents. In total, 100 adolescents, mean aged 13.33 ± 2.04 years, were divided into two groups: 59 the group (SG) 41 eutrophic-weight control (CG). Chi-squared Fisher exact tests performed compare dichotomous categorical variables between groups. subjects SG (mean 13.21 2.21) reported a body mass index (BMI) 29.05 4.09 kg/m2, corresponding over 95° percentile for both genders, CG 13.49 1.77) BMI 18.26 4.81 25° genders. SG, serum level 25-hydroxy-vitamin D significantly lower (p-value < 0.001), whereas fasting blood glucose (p = 0.006), waist circumference, hip circumference higher 0.001). Plaque Index (PI), Control Record (PCR), Oral Hygiene (OHI), Gingival (GI), bleeding (GBI) depicted worse SG. Moreover, number with caries Nutritional physical activity status according Mediterranean Diet Quality children teenagers (KIDMED test) International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-Adolescent) be significanlty better CG. light our results, obesity poor coexist cohort A screening should considered focus resources therapeutic interventions aiming at improving health.
