Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Similar with other conditions that are described as non-communicable diseases (NCDs), dental caries develops as the result of a combination of genetic, physiological, environmental and behavioral factors.
The commonly accepted risk factors for dental caries include dietary habits (e.g., sugary snacks), poor oral hygiene, microbiological factors, and low socioeconomic status.
Watching TV during mealtime has a negative impact on children's dietary quality as it is associated with higher consumption of ultraprocessed foods .
It was found that having the TV on at mealtimes reduces diet quality with more high-fat, high-sugar foods and fewer fruits and vegetables and increased consumption of sugar sweetened beverages.
Overconsumption of sugar has been associated with increased risk of excessive weight gain, dental decay, poor diet quality and nutritional inadequacy in children and adolescents younger than 19 years .
