作者对儿童和青少年体重指数与龋齿之间的关系进行了更新的系统综述。作者检索了Medline、ISI、Cochrane、Scopus、Global Health和CINAHL数据库，并从2004年至2011年（含2011年）发表的论文参考文献列表中进行横向检索。所有测试儿童和青少年人群（0至18岁）体重指数与龋齿之间关系的实证论文都被纳入其中。龋齿与身体质量指数的高低都有关系。身体质量指数与龋齿之间的非线性关系可能解释了先前研究中不一致的发现。我们建议未来的研究调查身体质量指数和龋齿之间关系的本质，包括全面的身体质量指数得分，并探讨社会经济地位等因素如何介导身体质量指数和龋齿之间的关系。
The authors undertook an updated systematic review of the relationship between body mass index and dental caries in children and adolescents. The authors searched Medline, ISI, Cochrane, Scopus, Global Health and CINAHL databases and conducted lateral searches from reference lists for papers published from 2004 to 2011, inclusive. All empirical papers that tested associations between body mass index and dental caries in child and adolescent populations (aged 0 to 18 years) were included. Dental caries is associated with both high and low body mass index. A non-linear association between body mass index and dental caries may account for inconsistent findings in previous research. We recommend future research investigate the nature of the association between body mass index and dental caries in samples that include a full range of body mass index scores, and explore how factors such as socioeconomic status mediate the association between body mass index and dental caries.
