Relação do consumo de açúcar per capita com o índice CPO-D2003-2010 e a política nacional de saúde bucal.

Abstract

The dental caries is a sugar-dependent biofilm disease, which has a high prevalence on children and teenagers. The aim of this ecological study was to correlate the caries experience data (CPO-D) on people with 12 years in the epidemiological surveys SB Brazil during 2003 and 2010, with the sugar consume for each individual during 2002-2003 and 2008-2009 from the budget family survey related to the five Brazilian macro regions. The data was collected from these previous researches. The Statistical analysis was performed using the Pearson correction test. The CPO-D on 12 years person was 2,78 in 2003 and 2,07 in 2010, indicating a dental caries experience reduction in that age, except on the North region. The sugar consumption in Brazil during 2002-2003 reached 23,502Kg for each individual every year and during 2008-2009 reached 20,521Kg for each individual. These data characterizes a reduction, only the North region has presented an increase in those values. The results have shown there is no correlation between caries experience and sugar consumption during the study periods.
