Article Synopsis
- Malnutrition is a serious public health issue in developing countries, particularly impacting children and increasing the risk of infections like oral candidiasis, with limited data on Candida presence in asymptomatic Mexican children.
- A study of 743 preschool children in Mexico found varying nutritional statuses, with normal being the most common, while Candida spp. were isolated from 52 individuals, predominantly C. albicans.
- Although there was no significant link between Candida colonization and nutritional status, a higher colonization rate was associated with increased intake of simple carbohydrates, especially among six-year-old boys.
Background: The increase or reduction of the medial longitudinal arch (MLA) can affect essential functions in the foot biomechanics with long-term health consequences. The aim of the present study was to determine the height of the MLA in children from 3 to 6 years of age through five methods of footprint analysis for the diagnosis of flat foot.
Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with 367 children aged 3 to 6 years in a municipality of the State of Mexico.
