Item type:Publication, Tooth Loss and Nutritional Status in 120,994 Children Aged 6-9 Years in Mongolia: A Population-Based Study(MDPI AG, 2026-01); ; ; ; Background: Tooth loss in childhood reflects cumulative oral disease and may impair dietary intake, potentially influencing nutritional status. Evidence on the association between tooth loss and anthropometric indicators in school-aged children remains limited. Methods: This population-based cross-sectional study used data from a nationwide health screening conducted by the Ministry of Health of Mongolia in 2023-2024. A total of 120,994 children aged 6-9 years were included. Tooth loss was categorized as 0, 1-2, or ≥3 extracted teeth. Nutritional status was assessed using weight-for-height (WHZ), weight-for-age (WAZ), height-for-age (HAZ) Z-scores, and body mass index (BMI). Associations between tooth loss and anthropometric indicators were examined using unadjusted and multivariable linear regression models adjusting for age and sex. Results: Overall, 12.5% of children had experienced tooth loss. Mean WHZ and WAZ decreased progressively with increasing tooth loss. In adjusted analyses, children with 1-2 extracted teeth had lower WHZ (β = -0.025; 95% CI: -0.047 to -0.004), and those with ≥3 extracted teeth had substantially lower WHZ (β = -0.058; 95% CI: -0.084 to -0.032), compared with children without tooth loss. Similar associations were observed for WAZ. No significant associations were found between tooth loss and BMI or HAZ. No interactions with age or sex were detected. Conclusions: Tooth loss was independently associated with lower indicators of current nutritional status among children aged 6-9 years. These findings underscore the importance of integrating oral health and nutrition strategies in childhood health programs.Scopus© Citations 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Knowledge and attitude of traumatic dental injuries in Mongolian schoolteachersBACKGROUND: Traumatic dental injury (TDI) is a growing public health concern worldwide, and children and adolescents are commonly affected. Because TDI often occurs at school, the response of teachers to these injuries is crucial. However, teachers in various countries have been shown to lack knowledge of effective TDI first-aid response and need an intervention to improve their knowledge. The aim of the study presented here was to ascertain and analyze teachers' knowledge of and attitude about TDI in Mongolia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study of full-time teachers in Mongolia was performed using an online questionnaire (compiled from relevant studies) from September 2022 to December 2022. The questionnaire consists of 47 items and among them 14 were used to assess the teacher's knowledge, and 5 were for attitude towards TDI. The maximum possible score was 14 points and grouped as follows good, moderate, and poor. T-test, ANOVA test (post-hoc) and linear regression analysis were performed. RESULTS: The online survey provided quantitative data from 2821 participants: 28% were elementary school teachers, 29% middle school teachers, and 42% high school teachers. Their mean age was 36.7 ± 9 years, and 2433 (86%) were female. The mean score of the TDI knowledge of the teachers was 5.3 ± 2.1 out of 14. The ANOVA test showed that older (p < 0.01) and more experienced teachers (p < 0.01) had higher scores. Teachers in the eastern (5.46 ± 2.2) and southern (5.49 ± 2.2) provinces had higher mean scores than in the other provinces (p < 0.02). Teachers majored in natural sciences (5.4 ± 2.2) had a higher score than those in the social sciences (5.2 ± 2.1) and difference were significant (p < 0.02). The multiple regression model statistically significantly predicted a one-year increase in experience, the TDI score increased 0.034 (95% CI 0.026, 0.043) unit. CONCLUSIONS: The knowledge regarding TDI and effective first-aid response to such injury is low in teachers in Mongolia. However, the teachers' attitude about TDI was positive and they wanted to learn and improve their knowledge. Therefore, further education and training programs are advised.Scopus© Citations 1
