Abstract

The objective of this study was to estimate the association between the prevalence of tooth loss (PD) in a group of overweight or obese women from Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas. Method: a cross-sectional study was carried out in 113 women between ages of 15 and 68 years,  who were selected according to convenience sampling. The variables studied were the prevalence of PD, coding as 0 = women without dental loss and, 1 = women who had at least one tooth loss and the prevalence of overweight and obesity was 0 = normal weight, 1 = overweight, 2 = class I obesity , 3 = obesity class 2 and, 4 = obesity class 3. Data were collected through a questionnaire and oral examination conducted by eight previously calibrated examiners (Kappa = 0.82) and statistically analyzed using both the percentage distribution (prevalence) and the Prevalence Ratio (PR) test. Results: the average age was 40.01 ± 12.9. The prevalence of women with PD was 65.6%, none of whom had total edentulism. Of the group studied, 31 (27.4%) had normal weight and 82 (72.5%) were overweight and had some degree of obesity. When calculating PR, there was a 1.5 times greater probability of having PD in overweight or obese women than in women with normal weight, this relationship was not significant with a type 1 error of 0.05. Conclusion: both PD and being overweight or obese represent a global public health problem. Overweight or obese women were not associated in the present study, however, the point estimate (PR 1.5), shows that there may be an association , to be verified in an analytical design.
