Description
Irene Coll and co-authors survey mouth disease in Mallorca schoolchildren and ask how it tracks with body weight. Children carry much of the world's untreated tooth decay. Excess weight is rising in the same group, and the two may share dietary roots.
Examiners checked 718 students in three age bands, at six, twelve, and fifteen years. World health criteria graded the teeth, and weight status was recorded alongside. Fifteen-year-olds showed decay in about forty-five percent of cases, the highest of the bands. Comparisons tested whether heavier children carried more oral disease. School-age surveys steer local prevention money. Teeth and weight, checked together, give a fuller picture.
