    Body Mass Index and Hemoglobin Related to Oral Health in Secondary Level Adolescents at the Jacques Cousteau Private Educational Institution, Carabayllo - 2022
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-11-24) Chavez Nieto, Melisa Ivany; Girano Castaños, Jorge Alberto
    The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and hemoglobin levels concerning oral health in adolescents at the secondary level in the Jacques Cousteau Private Educational Institution, Carabayllo – 2022. Methodology: A quantitative approach was used with a non-experimental design and correlational scope, involving a total of 70 secondary school students. Instruments used included the BMI observation sheet, a hemoglobin test, and the CPOD index to assess oral health. Results: The results showed that hemoglobin and oral health had a significance of 0.00, which is less than 0.05, and a Pearson correlation of 0.468, indicating a moderate positive correlation. On the other hand, BMI and its relationship with oral health did not show significance, as it was 0.691, which is greater than 0.05. Conclusion: Therefore, it was concluded that oral health is related to hemoglobin levels, but it does not show an association with BMI.
