Association of Salivary Microbial, Fungal Population and Salivary Acidity with Obesity in Children.
Although oral bacterial levels did not differ significantly across weight groups, fungal species, particularly <i>Candida albicans</i>, varied significantly. A negative association between obesity and <i>Candida albicans</i> counts suggests that obesity may impact the salivary microbial ecosystem, highlighting the need for further research into its systemic and oral health implications.
