Relation between the food environment and oral health-systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is increasing evidence that the food environment, i.e. the availability, accessibility, price and promotion of foods and beverages, has a significant influence on oral health through food consumption. With this systematic literature review, we systematically summarize the available evidence on relations between the food environment and oral health outcomes in children and adults.

Methods

English-language studies were identified through a systematic literature search, executed by a medical information specialist, on OVID/Medline, Embase, Web of Science and CINAHL. Title and abstract screening, full-text screening and quality assessment [using the Quality Assessment with Diverse Studies (QuADS) tool] were done independently by two authors.
