Treatment and study plan

body mass index for age

Dietary Supplement

different body mass index according to age (normal weight,overweight,obeiece)

Primary outcomes

  1. taste perception

    Time frame: taste perception for 90 subject of different body mass index

    taste perception scale score(1-6) to measure 90 subject

  2. oral health status

    Time frame: oral health status will be measured for 90 subject of different body mass index.

    oral health status will be measured by plaque index score(1-3),gingival index score(1-3),and dental caries DMFT and DMFS .

Secondary outcomes

  1. salivary ghrelin hormone

    Time frame: Baseline :salivary collection for ghrelin , salivary leptin and salivary resistin in AL least two hours fasting for different body mass index subject

    measure salivary ghrelin hormone of different body mass index of 90 subject to see if the body mass index effect on the salivary ghrelin hormon.

  2. salivary leptin hormone

    Time frame: Baseline :salivary collection for ghrelin , salivary leptin and salivary resistin in AL least two hours fasting for different body mass index subject

    measure salivary leptin hormone of different body mass index of 90 subject to see if the body mass index effect on the salivary leptin hormon.

  3. salivary resistin hormone

    Time frame: Baseline :salivary collection for ghrelin , salivary leptin and salivary resistin in AL least two hours fasting for different body mass index subject

    measure salivary resistin hormone of different body mass index of 90 subject to see if the body mass index effect on the salivary resistin hormon.
