Pathogenetic relationship of oral microbiota and obesity in children and adolescents

Abstract

The review summarizes the data of foreign studies on the relationship of the taxonomic diversity of the oral microbiota and changes in its composition with the development of the metabolic syndrome in children with obesity. This information is of scientific interest from the point of view of the search for new targets and possible ways of conservative treatment in order to prevent and treat obesity through maintaining the microflora of the gastrointestinal tract.
