Conversely, tooth loss, painand discomfort limit food choices which negatively affect nutritional status. Theobjective was to evaluate association between oral health and calcium (Ca) andvitamin D nutritional status, several dietary and life-style habits in young men.Materials and Methods: A total of 241 men (29.4±2.1 years) were studied.Ca intake (CaI) and protein intakes were recorded, and 25hydroxyvitamin D(25OHD) was determined. Dental status and caries risk were assessed byDecayed (D), Missing (M) and Filled (F) Teeth, (DMFT) index, Löe SilnessPlaque Index (PI) and sugar intake (SI). Results: Deficient CaI was observedin 48% of men; 71% had 25OHD
