摘要

目的：研究三歲以下孩童身體質量指數（BMI）與齲齒是否相關。材料及方法：共97位在2008年六月至2011年三月至台北醫學大學附設醫院兒童牙科接受治療的孩童，其中48人被分入實驗組（嚴重早期性孩童型齲齒組），49位為控制組（無蛀牙組）。所有病人的初診年齡皆為三歲以下。年齡、性別、身高、體重及乳齒齲齒經驗指數皆被詳細記錄，進而計算其身體質量指數。所有數據以統計方式分析身體質量指數是否與齲齒率有相關，以及在嚴重早期性孩童型齲齒組內依身體質量指數分組的各分組，在乳齒齲齒經驗指數是否有差異。結果：在嚴重早期性孩童型齲齒的組別和控制組的身體質量指數沒有顯著差異。在嚴重早期性孩童型齲齒組內，乳齒齲齒經驗指數在各分組間沒有顯著差異。結論：三歲以下孩童的身體質量指數（BMI）與齲齒並無相關。

Purpose: To determine if any relationship exists between body mass index (BMI) and dental caries in children under 3 years old.Material and methods: A total of 97 patients from June, 2008 to March, 2011 seeking treatment in the Pediatric Dentistry Department of Taipei Medical University Hospital were included. 48 patients were assigned in the experimental group (severe early childhood caries group, SECC group) and 49 patients in the control group (caries-free group). All patients were under 3 year-old during their first visit to the outpatient department. Age, gender, body height, body weight and deft (decayed, extracted, filled teeth) index were recorded, and BMI was calculated. The data collected was then analyzed statistically to determine if BMI is associated with caries rate and the deft differences between the SECC subgroups classified according to BMI value.Results: No significant difference was found between the SECC group and the control group. No significant difference was found in the deft index between the SECC subgroups.Conclusion: BMI and dental caries are not correlated in children under 3 years old.
