Abstract(s)
O objetivo do presente trabalho foi verificar a influência da ingestão de alimentos e do tipo de alimentos ingeridos na saúde oral e a sua relação com dados antropométricos como o índice de massa corporal (IMC), peso corporal, estatura, composição corporal.
Foi efetuada uma revisão sistemática de artigos de investigação científica, realizada em diversos países de todos os continentes, procurando especificar essa relação em crianças dos 2 aos 18 anos, frequentadores de escolas públicas e privadas, oriundas de famílias com diferentes inserções socioeconómicas e regionais.
Verifica-se que, de um modo geral, há pior saúde oral em crianças com menor índice de massa corporal e obesidade, bem como de famílias em meios menos favorecidos, com maior consumo de açúcar e alimentação menos rica em nutrientes saudáveis. Todos estes fatores afetam a saúde oral, causando patologias nomeadamente a cárie dentária.
Aponta-se para a necessidade de promover melhor educação para a saúde oral, bem como para hábitos nutricionais saudáveis, através de professores e profissionais de saúde, com relevo para o médico de família.
This work checked the way food taking and its kind are related to the oral health and to body mass index (BMI), body weight, height and body composition. A systematic revision was done, including several articles of scientific investigation developed in several countries from all the continents, searching to specify that relationship in children aged 2 to 18, in public and private schools, coming from families showing different social, economic and regional origin. A weaker global oral health is observed in children presenting lower body mass index and obesity and also in those belonging to less favoured social and economic environments, with habits of bigger sugar ingestion and poorer nourishment regarding to healthy nutrients. This causes pathologies such as dental caries. There is a major focus on the need of promoting a wider education for oral health in schools and near families, by means of teachers and health authorities, stressing the family´s doctor role.
