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.

Relationship between nutritional status and dental eruption of the upper central incisor in schoolchildren of an educational institution, Huancayo 2023
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2024-08-13) Gilvonio Llashag, Allison Vanessa; Hidalgo Constantino, Judith
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between nutritional status and the eruption of the upper central incisor in schoolchildren from an educational institution, Huancayo 2023. The study included 100 schoolchildren from the "María Auxiliadora" Educational Institution 30179. The study design was non-experimental, correlational, and cross-sectional. The variables of nutritional status and eruption of the incisor were analyzed using BMI and Sato's classification, respectively. The observation technique was used, and a data collection form was the instrument. Most of the students (57%) were classified as having normal weight, followed by those at risk of malnutrition. Similarly, both sexes had normal nutritional status. The majority in each age group were classified as normal weight, especially prominent in 7-year-old children (30%). On the other hand, for both upper central incisors (right and left), the majority of cases were classified as Code VI (54%), in contrast to the lower central incisors (right and left), which were mostly classified as Code VI (88%). For both sexes, the most common category was Code VI, indicating complete eruption. In older ages, more advanced eruption levels (Code VI) were more prevalent, indicating complete eruption. It is concluded that there is a significant positive correlation between nutritional status and the eruption of the upper and lower left central incisors in schoolchildren from an educational institution, Huancayo 2023.

Relationship of body mass index and loss of taste in Covid-19 patients in Servimedic health program services, Lince – 2020.
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2020-12-18) Lope Alderete, Yudit; Araujo Farje, Jessica Jazmin
The objective of this research was to determine the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and taste loss in COVID-19 patients at Servimedic Health Programs Services, Lince. This research employed a scientific method with a quantitative approach, being observational, documentary, analytical, retrospective, cross-sectional, and explanatory in nature. It included 148 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patients. Data was collected from the Servimedic database between June and September. The Chi-square test was used for data analysis. The results showed that 41.9% of COVID-19 patients had overweight and taste loss, while 9.5% had overweight without taste loss, revealing a statistically significant relationship (p≤0.05). Of the total patients, 51.4% had overweight, 29.7% had normal BMI, and 18.9% were obese. Of the total patients, 73.6% experienced taste loss, while 26.4% did not. According to BMI and sex, 51.4% of overweight patients were 12.2% female and 39.2% male. By age and BMI, 51.4% had overweight, 14.2% were aged 18 to 29, 33.8% were aged 30 to 59, and 3.4% were aged 60 and above. Regarding taste loss by sex, 73.6% of patients had taste loss, with 23.6% being female and 50.0% male. By age, 25.0% of patients with taste loss were aged 18 to 29, 45.9% were aged 30 to 59, and 2.7% were aged 60 and above. It was concluded that Body Mass Index is significantly related to taste loss in COVID-19 patients.
