Abstract(s)
Sabe-se que um estado nutricional inadequado acompanhado de uma má saúde oral afetam negativamente a saúde geral e o bem-estar dos indivíduos. No caso de indivíduos vulneráveis, como os migrantes, que estão sujeitos a níveis elevados de stress torna-se importante avaliar a interação destas duas variáveis. Além disso, de acordo com o contexto geopolítico atual, este tema pretende ser um contributo para a discussão científica nas áreas indicadas. Para tal, realizou-se um estudo de revisão narrativa, tendo por base 45 artigos publicados em inglês e português, no período de 2013 a 2023, através das bases de dados: PubMed, b-On e Scielo Portugal. Dos vários estudos selecionados, verifica-se que independentemente da faixa etária dos migrantes (crianças, adultos e idosos), estes apresentam uma pior saúde oral que os nativos do país onde se encontram, e que estes resultados devem-se muitas vezes à sua própria perceção da necessidade de cuidados de saúde oral, e que o nível de aculturação dos migrantes influencia o seu estado nutricional.
It is known that an inadequate nutritional status accompanied by poor oral health negatively affects the overall health and well-being of individuals. In the case of vulnerable individuals, such as migrants, who are subject to high levels of stress, it is important to assess the interaction of these two variables. In addition, according to the current geopolitical context, this theme aims to be a contribution to the scientific discussion in the indicated areas. To this end, a narrative review study was carried out, based on 45 articles published in English and Portuguese, in the period from 2013 to 2023, through the databases: PubMed, b-On and Scielo Portugal. From the various studies selected, it is verified that regardless of the age group of the migrants (children, adults and the elderly), they have worse oral health than the natives of the country where they are, and that these results are often due to their own perception of the need for oral health care, and that the level of acculturation of migrants influences their nutritional status.
