Background: Oral health status and dietary intake contribute to nutritional status in elderly. Missing teeth cause chewing disorder that reduces quality and quantity of food intake, which finally makes the elderly have underweight nutritional status.Objective: To determine the risk factors for underweight in the elderly at Yogyakarta Municipality.Method: The study was observational with case control design on elderly at Yogyakarta Municipality. Subjects consisted of 210 elderly matched in age and gender. Sampling was done by multistage random sampling. Oral health status was assessed through dental health status (index of missing teeth) and periodontal status (gingival index, periodontal index and oral hygiene index), dietary intake was collected by using semi quantitative food frequency questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) and underweight nutritional status was based on body mass armspan (BMA). Data were analyzed by using tests of X2 Mc.Nemar, X2 Stuart Maxwell, and conditional logistic regression.Results: Bivariate analysis showed the number of missing teeth ≥ 21 (OR=3.67, p<0.05) and 16-20 (OR=3.53, p<0.05) as risk factors of underweight, whereas the gingival index, periodontal index and oral hygiene index were not. Less intake of energy (OR=6.3), protein (OR=7.83), fat (OR=5.67) and carbohydrates (OR=7.5) were risk factors of underweight (p<0.01). Income less than Rp 808.000,00 was also risk factor for underweight (OR=4.5; p<0.01). Multivariate analysis showed the significant risk factors for underweight were the missing teeth ≥ 21 (OR=8.76) and 16-20 (OR=6.04) which increased by income less than Rp 808.000,00 (OR=5.94), less fat intake (OR=4.88), and less carbohydrate intake (OR=5.48). Income was confounding factor in the risk of missing teeth and protein intake for becoming underweight.Conclusion: Significant risk factors of underweight in elderly were missing teeth ≥ 16, less intake of fat and carbohydrate, and income less than Rp 808.000,00.

Abstract Objectives Poor oral health status has been suggested to negatively impact the food selection leading to malnutrition. There is lack of evidence on the association of oral health and nutritional status amongst elderly subjects in India. The present study was undertaken to assess the association of oral health and nutritional status amongst elderly subjects in India. Methods A community based cross-sectional study was conducted during 2015–2016 in District Nainital, Uttarakhand state, India. A total of 1003 elderly population were enrolled from 30 clusters (villages) identified by using population proportionate to size sampling methodology. Information on socio demographic profile and anthropometric measurements was collected. Body mass index and Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) scale was calculated for assessment of nutritional status. A trained professional assessed the oral health status through physical examination. Dietary intake data were collected using 24 h dietary recall methodology. Results We found that the prevalence of complete edentulism was 11%. Use of dentures was reported amongst only 9.6% subjects who were completely edentulous. Prevalence of underweight and malnutrition was significantly higher amongst subjects with complete loss of teeth, who were suffering with chewing problems and who did not wear dentures as compared to others. Subjects who wore dentures had significantly lower prevalence of malnutrition as compared to the subjects who did not wear dentures. The 24 hour dietary recall found that nutrient intake of macronutrients such as energy, protein, fat (all P < 0.05) and micronutrients such as calcium and riboflavin (all P < 0.01) were significantly higher in subjects who used rehabilitative measures through use of dentures as compared to those who did not wear dentures. Conclusions We found that the poor oral health status of the elderly subjects resulted in poor nutritional status amongst them. The present study will help the dentists in educating the elderly about the importance of maintaining adequate oral health status for achieving optimal nutritional and weight status. In addition, improvement in primary as well as rehabilitative dental care services and oralhealth care assess by the dentists will prove to be an effective measure in improving the nutritional status of the elderly.

Background: Studies addressing the oral health status among Lebanese school children are scarce. Aims: To assess the oral health status of Lebanese school children, and to provide epidemiological data for planning and evaluation of oral health care programmes. Methods: We selected 7902 schoolchildren aged 12–15 years from the 6 governorates of Lebanon, using a multistage probability sampling method. Data were obtained by self-administered structured questionnaires and clinical examinations (World Health Organization methodology and criteria). Dental caries was recorded using the Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT) index. Periodontal status was evaluated using the Community Periodontal Index (CPI). Results: The mean (standard deviation) number of decayed, missing and filled teeth was 3.01 (2.927), 0.05 (0.245) and 2.14 (2.071), respectively, and the mean DMFT score was 5.20 (3.549). Among the whole tested population, the prevalence of caries was 89.5% and only 10.5% of the children were completely free of caries. Age, geographic location and school sector were the most significant risk factors for caries prevalence. Periodontal disease (CPI score > 0) was seen in 7633 participants (96.6%). In contrast to the shallow periodontal pockets that showed a low prevalence, calculus was the most frequently detected periodontal condition in both ages (50.9% at 12 years old and 50.2% at 15 years old). Age, sex, school sector and smoking status were significantly associated with occurrence of periodontal disease. Conclusion: Preventive and restorative public health campaigns are highly recommended to improve oral health status among Lebanese schoolchildren.

The purpose of this study was to investigate oral health status and oral health care services utilization among Myanmar residents in Japan. A crosssectional epidemiological study was performed among 152 Myanmar residents aged 18 to 67 years in Tokyo, Japan. Clinical oral examinations and questionnaire surveys were conducted from June to July, 2017. Caries prevalence for all participants was 70.4% with mean decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) of 2.72±2.91. The prevalence of periodontal disease (Community Periodontal Index - CPI code 1) for all participants was 93.4%. A total of 67 participants (44.1%) had the experience of dental visits in Japan. Most participants (84.2%) had Japanese health insurance, and the participants with health insurance had a significantly higher number of filled teeth than those without (p=0.036). DMFT (p=0.020) and the prevalence of periodontal disease (p=0.049) were significantly lower in participants with health insurance than in those without. Further, self-perceived oral health was better in participants with health insurance than those without (p=0.001). The status of health insurance was indicated to influence on oral health status. In order to promote oral health and facilitate on owning health insurance to Myanmar residents in Japan, oral health education also should be provided to enhance their oral health knowledge.

Objectives: To assess oral health status and practices of 5- and 12-year-old Tribal school children.Methods: A total of 418, 5-year-old children and 327, 12-year-old children were enrolled. Information on demographic characteristics of participants along with oral health behavior was collected. Clinical data were collected on dental fluorosis, periodontal status, dental caries and treatment needs. Dean's index criterion was used to assess dental fluorosis. Community Periodontal Index (CPI) for periodontal conditions and Dentition status and treatment needs for dental caries were recorded. Results: Between meal sugar consumption was high (100%). None of the children in both the age groups had visited trained health personnel for dental treatment. Dental fluorosis prevalence in 5- and 12-year olds was 11.9% and 22.9% respectively. Bleeding on probing and calculus was common between both the age groups. A low mean number of healthy sextants were found and this decreased with age. Mean dmft/DMFT values for 5- and 12-year olds were 4.13 ± 3.90 and 1.15 ± 1.62. Significant caries index (SIC) scores for 5- and 12-year olds were 7.17 ±4.30 and 3.78 ± 3.21 respectively. Conclusion: The present study reveals high sugar consumption, dental fluorosis, poor oral hygiene, and untreated dental disease of tribal children. Under these circumstances, the implementation of preventive programs including restriction of sweets in school premises for the tribal children is the key to good oral health.

Abstract Background: Besides the bad nutritional habits, it has been studied that systemic changes induced by obesity may have repercussions on oral environment. This study evaluated the oral health status of obese adolescents undergoing follow-up at a tertiary hospital in Portugal. Methods: Ninety subjects were classified as obese or severe obese according to the World Health Organization references. Caries experience and periodontal condition were determined by the DMFT index (decayed, missing and filled teeth) and Community Periodontal Index (CPI), respectively. The data for the ages 12 and 15 were compared using Wilcoxon test for one sample to the National Prevalence Study of Oral Diseases (NPSOD), performed in Portugal and published in 2008 and 2015. Results: A mean BMI of 29.4 (± 4.1) was observed, and 64.4% (n = 58) of the subjects were diagnosed with severe obesity. The DMFT of obese adolescents was similar to that of the Portuguese population. At 12 years of age, obese individuals were found to have fewer missing teeth (p = 0.001) and more sealed teeth than those of the same age in Portugal in 2008 (p = 0.012) and 2015 (p = 0.001). At age 15, obese adolescents had fewer decayed teeth (p = 0.017) than individuals of the same age in Portugal (NPSOD, 2008). Conclusions: Obese children and adolescents presented an oral health status similar to that of the Portuguese population at the same age according to the majority of the criteria. These findings can be explained by the health care provided with repeated recommendations for oral hygiene.
