Abstract

Purpose: The relationship between body mass index (BMI) and oral disorders remains unclear. This study examined the prevalence and types of dental abnormalities and oral mucosal lesions among female students with obesity attending a Taif University sports centre.

Materials and methods: This non-interventional cross-sectional study enrolled female students with high BMI from a university sports facility using a convivence sampling method. The participants were divided into three BMI groups. Data were collected using an interview and by clinical oral examination. Prevalence and oral disorder types and possible mechanisms linking BMI and dental development were evaluated.

Results: Ultimately, 86 female students with obesity were analysed. The mean BMI was 42.8 kg/m2, indicating high obesity levels. A weak although statistically significant correlation was observed between age and BMI (r=0.27), indicating that older students had higher BMI. A statistically significant association was observed between BMI and dental abnormalities (p0.05). The dental abnormality prevalence increased with BMI, ranging from 37.5% to 40.7% in the ≤40 and >45 kg/m2 groups, respectively. Most participants (66.3%) had oral mucosal lesions, with the highest prevalence among participants in the 40-45 kg/m2 group (71.4%).

Conclusion: A statistically significant relationship was observed between BMI and dental abnormalities; obesity may negatively affect oral health.

高体重指数患者牙齿畸形、软组织病变和咬合障碍的患病率：横断面研究。

目的：体重指数（BMI）与口腔疾病之间的关系仍不清楚。本研究调查了在塔伊夫大学体育中心就读的肥胖女学生中牙科异常和口腔黏膜病变的发生率和类型：这项非干预性横断面研究采用召集抽样法，在一所大学的体育设施中招募了体重指数较高的女学生。参与者被分为三个体重指数组。通过访谈和临床口腔检查收集数据。结果：最终对 86 名肥胖女学生进行了分析。平均体重指数为 42.8 kg/m2，表明肥胖程度较高。年龄与体重指数之间存在微弱的相关性（r=0.27），但在统计学上有显著意义，这表明年龄较大的学生体重指数较高。体重指数与牙齿畸形之间有明显的统计学关联（P0.05）。牙齿畸形的发生率随体重指数的增加而增加，在体重指数≤40 kg/m2和大于45 kg/m2的组别中，发生率分别为37.5%至40.7%。大多数参与者（66.3%）有口腔黏膜病变，其中 40-45 kg/m2 组的患病率最高（71.4%）：结论：从统计学角度看，体重指数与牙齿异常之间存在明显关系；肥胖可能会对口腔健康产生负面影响。
