Salivary Microbiological and Gingival Health Status Evaluation of Adolescents With Overweight and Obesity: A Cluster Analysis

Abstract: Given the high prevalence of obesity in children and adolescents, the investigation of early markers is of clinical importance to better manage this condition. Thus, the aim was to evaluate the cross-sectional relationship between salivary microbiota, gingival health status, and excess weight in adolescents. A total of 248 students (14-17 y; 119 girls) were included, free of caries lesions and periodontal pockets. Physical examination included measures of height, weight, and body fat percentage (%BF). Oral exa… Show more

“…In agreement with published research, we observed that oral bacterial community composition was distinct between lean and obese individuals [24][25][26][27]. In our work, we also observed that the difference in salivary bacterial composition between obese and lean individuals extends to phylogenetic diversity measurements.…”

“…In addition, the abundance of several bacterial taxa including Lactobacillus, Pervotella, Alistipes, Akkermansia, and others vary with obesity status [7,9]. Salivary microbiota of lean and obese individuals also differ in diversity and composition [9,[24][25][26][27]. Abundance of several salivary bacterial taxa including Campylobacter, Aggregatibacter, and Veillonella was reported to be positively associated with obesity [28][29][30].…”

“…Similar results were found also by Araujo et al, in his research, adolescents with overweight or obesity showed the highest percentages of MS and Bifidobacteria than normal-weight ones. His results are indicating a possible interaction between oral bacteria communities and weight gain [ 39 ].…”

“…The salivary microbiota's differential diversity and the occurrence of certain bacterial species have been correlated to common oral diseases such as dental caries and periodontitis and systemic diseases, including diabetes, obesity, and cancer [9]. Of the limited available studies related to obesity, few have demonstrated the association of dysbiotic salivary microbiome with obesity in adults [10,11] and adolescents [12][13][14]. For example, the presence of Veillonella, Haemophilus, and Prevotella was correlated with BMI in a Brazilian adolescent population [13].…”
