Abstract

Background: Mothers play a primary role in their children’s oral health behavior and outcomes. Broader research is needed to evaluate the correlation between maternal caries and children's caries to help determine suitable education. Purpose: This study aims to investigate the correlation between maternal caries and their children’s caries aged 4-7 years. Methods: This study uses a correlation design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 305 mothers and their children were involved as respondents from seven kindergartens in Bukittinggi City, West Sumatra. The caries evaluation was measured using the DMFT score for the mother and the deft score for the children. The dental caries status was assessed using clinical oral examination form to calculate the DMFT index in mothers and deft in children as numerical variables presented as mean and standard deviation (SD). The correlation analysis test was performed to prove the strength of correlation. Results: The mean maternal DMF index was 11.526 ± 6.178, while the mean children deft index was 7.345 ± 4.609. Although the maternal caries experience was higher, the correlation between maternal and child caries scores was very weak and not statistically significant (r = 0.105; p = 0.112). The findings suggest that maternal caries alone may not as strong predictor of caries in children. Conclusion: The correlation between maternal caries and children’s caries is very weak and poses an indirect influence on caries in children. Strengthening maternal oral health education and promoting preventive dental care are essential strategies for improving children’s oral health outcomes.

Abstract

This community service activity aimed to conduct early detection of metabolic syndrome risk factors among civil servants, identify their health status based on metabolic parameters, and increase awareness of the importance of routine health check-ups. The method was implemented through comprehensive health examinations, including measurements of blood pressure, body mass index, waist circumference, blood glucose, uric acid, and cholesterol levels among 230 participants, followed by brief individual counseling based on examination results. The activity was carried out through preparation, registration, examination, counseling, and evaluation stages. The results showed that a significant proportion of participants had metabolic risk factors, with obesity prevalence at 46.5%, overweight 18.3%, elevated cholesterol 45.2%, high blood pressure 32.2%, increased uric acid 32.6%, and elevated blood glucose 11.7%. The counseling provided helped participants understand their health conditions and encouraged healthier lifestyle behaviors. In conclusion, health screening is effective in early detection of metabolic syndrome risk factors and in improving awareness of routine examinations as promotive and preventive efforts against non-communicable diseases in the workplace.
