ObesityObesity6 more

Objectives To compare oral health (dental caries, periodontal status, and erosive tooth wear (ETW)), diet and oral hygiene habits between obese and normal weight adolescents, and to explore possible risk associations. Materials and Methods In this case-control study, a convenient sample of 81 obese adolescents (age range 11-18) from a rehabilitation centre, and 81 age-sex-matched normal weight adolescents were selected. Groups were defined using the Body Mass Index and growth curves for Flemish. Oral health was measured using DMFT, gingival, plaque and BEWE index. A validated questionnaire was utilized to assess diet and oral hygiene habits.

Growth Hormone Secretion Following the Anaerobic Exercise

Short StatureObesity1 more

Proper growth in children is a complex process regulated by a combination of genetic, nutritional, environmental, hormonal, and others. Growth hormone (GH) is the main hormone regulating the growth from childhood to adulthood. Despite great progress in the field, with the development of recombinant GH for the treatment of growth hormone deficiency (GHD), there is still no reliable method for testing GHD. Physical exertion is one of the significant physiologic stimuli for GH secretion, and it is reliable test for identification of GHD. It is not in use in the clinics because of its complexity. Recently GH secretion following short anaerobic exercise in young adults was tested and also demonstrated significant growth hormone secretion In contrast to adult children's exercise is characterized by an anaerobic nature. There is no data about secretion of growth hormone in response to anaerobic exercise in children. Purpose of the experiment: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the secretion of growth hormone in response to anaerobic exercise in children.
