The Relationship Between Frequency Cariogenic’s Food Comsumption and Level of Vitamin D Intake on The Incidence of Dental Caries among Preschoolers in PAUD Durratul Yatimah 

Karies gigi merupakan penyakit infeksi pada gigi yang sering terjadi pada anak usia prasekolah. Karies gigi dapat mengganggu fungsi pengunyahan yang dapat mempengaruhi asupan makanan dan status gizi anak, sehingga berdampak pada tumbuh kembang anak. Anak yang berisiko mengalami karies gigi memiliki kebiasaan mengonsumsi makanan kariogenik dan kekurangan asupan vitamin D. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara frekuensi konsumsi makanan kariogenik dan tingkat asupan vitamin D dengan timbulnya karies gigi pada anak usia prasekolah di PAUD Durratul Yatimah, Kabupaten Sidoarjo. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif korelasional dengan rancangan Cross Sectional. Sampel pada penelitian ini sebanyak 48 murid diambil secara purposive sampling dengan kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi. Pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner, FFQ makanan kariogenik dan SQ-FFQ asupan vitamin D. Analisis data dilakukan dengan uji korelasi Spearman Rank. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, terdapat hubungan antara frekuensi konsumsi makanan kariogenik dengan kejadian karies gigi (ρ value = 0,000), dan tidak terdapat hubungan antara tingkat asupan vitamin D dengan kejadian karies gigi (ρ value = 0,602).
