Association between overweight/obesity and dental outcomes in early childhood: Findings from an Australian cohort study
There were no associations between overweight/obesity and dental caries, plaque index or gingival index in this cohort of preschool children. However, associations may emerge as the children become older, and it will be possible to extend analyses to include data collected at age 7 in the near future.
