Summary

This study investigates the link between dietary acid load and oral health-related quality of life in 374 high school students (226 females, 148 males). Participants completed a demographic questionnaire, the OHIP-14 scale, and provided 24-hour dietary recalls. Dietary acid load was assessed using PRAL and NEAP calculations. Data analysis was performed with SPSS 24 to explore the impact of diet composition on adolescents' oral health.

Detailed description

Introduction: Oral health plays a crucial role in the psychological and physical development of children and adolescents. The composition of the diet consumed significantly affects oral health. Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between dietary acid load and oral health-related quality of life in adolescents. Method: A total of 374 high school students (226 females, 148 males) participated in the study. Adolescents completed a demographic questionnaire and the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) scale, and 24-hour retrospective food consumption records were collected. Dietary acid load was assessed by calculating potential renal acid load (PRAL) and net endogenous acid production (NEAP) based on macronutrient and micronutrient intake from food records. Data analysis was conducted using the SPSS 24 software package.
