Abstract：
Tooth decay and periodontal diseases are the main oral pathologies in the world. The prevalence of overweight in children has increased worldwide. Overweight children have alterations in the composition of saliva and excessive consumption of saturated fatty acids tend to slow the metabolism of carbohydrates in the oral cavity leading to tooth decay, periodontal disease and others oral disorders. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between oral pathologies and overweight in pupils of primary schools of Cameroon.
A cross-sectional study was carried out from June to August 2020 in four government primary schools selected through cluster sampling in Yaounde. 650 pupils aged between 6 and 11 years were enrolled. Data collected included anthropometric, oral pathologies, quality of oral hygiene and feeding habits. Data were analysed with the SPSS 26.0 statistical software and binary logistic regression was used to determine the risks of oral pathologies in overweight pupils. P-value of 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
The prevalence of overweight was 27% (95% CI: 23.5-30.5). The main oral pathologies was tooth decay (60.3%). Binary logistic regression revealed that overweight pupils were significantly 1.5 times more likely to develop tooth decay than non-overweight pupils (95% CI: 1.1-2.4).
Overweight, tooth decay are prevalent among pupils. Overweight pupils have a higher risk of developing tooth decay compared to non-obese pupils. An integrated package of oral and nutritional health promotion activities is necessary in primary schools in Cameroon.

摘要：
背景：蛀牙和牙周病是世界上主要的口腔疾病。儿童超重的患病率在世界范围内有所增加。超重儿童的唾液成分发生变化，饱和脂肪酸的过量消耗往往会减缓口腔中碳水化合物的代谢，导致蛀牙。牙周病和其他口腔疾病。这项研究的目的是评估喀麦隆小学生的口腔疾病与超重之间的关系。
方法：于2020年6月至8月在雅温得通过整群抽样选择的四所政府小学进行了横断面研究。650名年龄在6至11岁之间的学生被录取。收集的数据包括人体测量，口腔疾病，口腔卫生质量和喂养习惯。使用SPSS26.0统计软件对数据进行分析，并使用二元逻辑回归来确定超重学生的口腔疾病风险。P值0.05被认为具有统计学意义。
结果：超重的患病率为27%（95%CI：23.5-30.5）。主要的口腔疾病是蛀牙（60.3％）。二元逻辑回归显示，超重学生患蛀牙的可能性是非超重学生的1.5倍（95％CI：1.1-2.4）。
结论：超重，蛀牙在小学生中很普遍。与非肥胖学生相比，超重学生患蛀牙的风险更高。在喀麦隆的小学中，有必要进行综合的口腔和营养健康促进活动。
