Resumen:
Calcium (Ca) nutritional status, oral health, exercise and lifestyle
was evaluated in 25 college students (ISALUD University): 28% of
males and 72% women (18 to 34 years old). Weekly consumption,
frequency, dietary practices, exercise, and lifestyle (consumption of
cigarettes, soft drinks, contraceptives, etc.) were recorded. Blood and
2-h urine sample was obtained in a fasting state. Dentaloral status
and total skeletal BMD by DXA was assessed. Body weight was
59.8±12.6 kg. Dairy products consumptionwas quite low, so 96% had
Ca intake below the adequate intake and 48% <500 mg/d; 16% did not
consume fruits and 4% vegetables. Good quality protein intake
(<0.66 g/kg) was deficient in 36% of the students. The 100% of the
students had chronic gingivitis, 68% oral soft tissue injuries, 72%
bruxism, and 84% tightening. Of the students, 68% had high consumption
of sugar (MA)>4. Also, 48% showed partial tooth loss (83% had
MA >4 and 92% consumed soft drink daily). Only 20% exercised every
day, 24% exercised 23 times per week, and 20% did not exercise at all.
The remaining hiked regularly. The 39% of women took contraceptives
and 39% women and 14% menwere smokers. Conclusion: Based on the
results obtained, there is a high Ca deficiency in the studied group with
dietary and lifestyle habits that would affect oral health and, in the
future, skeleton status. A nutrition education would benefit the
nutritional status and would improve life quality of subjects.oral status
