Association of Salivary Microbial, Fungal Population and Salivary Acidity with Obesity in Children.

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Background: Childhood obesity is an increasing global health concern associated with both systemic and oral complications. While studies suggest links between body mass index (BMI) and oral health markers, these relationships remain poorly defined. Purpose: This study evaluated the association between salivary microbial/fungal populations, salivary acidity, and obesity in children. Materials and Method: < 0.05. Results: levels. Conclusion: counts suggests that obesity may impact the salivary microbial ecosystem, highlighting the need for further research into its systemic and oral health implications.
