The relationship of dental caries and weight status with adherence to school nutrition policies among public primary school children in Riyadh: a cross-sectional study
There was no evidence of a difference between the level of adherence to Ministry of Education school canteen guidelines in public primary schools and dental caries experience or weight status of students. However, due to the level of school canteen compliance being either 'poor' or 'average', a clear conclusion cannot be reached.
