Aim: Objectives: To analyze variations in dental arch width in relation to oral habits.   Materials and Methods : Cross sectional  study was carried out Department of Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics of Dhaka Dental College & Hospital, Dhaka with a total number of 600 primary school children of 3-6 years ages of Bangladeshi population. Results: This study was a cross sectional study conducted among the 600 children with 3-6 years old prima- ry school children of Bangladeshi population. According to present study, bottle feeding causes significant reduction in maxillary intercanine width and mouth breathers show significant reduction of both arches. Conclusion: It was observed that the children who had used a bottle had a significant reduction in maxillary intercanine width. Breathing through mouth appeared to be associated with a reduction in the size of both arches. This was more significant in the maxillary intercanine , mandibular  intercanine and mandibular molar widths. Therefore to prevent malocclusions, the public should be informed of the harm caused by certain oral habits, the benefits of breast-feeding, and the need to correct bad habits at early life.

Abstract Background Breastfeeding is associated with health benefits for both the mother and infant and is therefore important to support; moreover, parental leave is a beneficial factor for breastfeeding. The Swedish parental leave is generous, allowing each parent to take 90 days; additionally, a further 300 days can be taken by either parent. Generally, mothers take 70% of the parental leave days, mainly during the first year. However, breastfeeding duration has declined in the last decade, and it is not known how shared parental leave is associated with the duration of breastfeeding. Aim To investigate how parental leave is associated with the duration of exclusive and partial breastfeeding of the infant during the first 12 months after birth. An additional aim was to describe infants’ and parents’ characteristics and mode of birth in association with the duration of exclusive and partial breastfeeding. Methods This cross-sectional study was part of the Swedish Pregnancy Planning Study, conducted in Sweden in 2012–2015. The parents were recruited at 153 antenatal clinics in nine counties. In total, 813 couples completed a follow-up questionnaire 1 year after birth. Linear regression models were used to analyse the association between parental leave and the duration of breastfeeding. Results Infants were exclusively breastfed for, on average, 2.5 months (range 0–12 months) and partially breastfed, on average, 7 months (range 0–12 months). Most of the parental leave was taken by the mother (mean = 10.9 months) during the infant’s first 12 months, while the partner took 3 months, on average. The parental leave (used and planned) during the infant’s first 24 months were, on average, 21 months. In the multivariate linear regression analysis, mothers’ and partners’ high level of education (p < 0.001, p = 0.044, respectively), mothers’ higher age (p = 0.049), non-instrumental vaginal birth (p = 0.004) and longer parental leave for the first 24 months (p < 0.001) were associated with longer duration of partial breastfeeding. Conclusion The duration of partial breastfeeding was associated with higher parental educational level, higher age, non-instrumental vaginal birth and longer parental leave.

Abstract Background The effect of joint health on quality of life in middle-aged and older women is becoming more widely recognized with the aging of the world’s population. However, the association of long-term breastfeeding with joint pain and knee osteoarthritis has not been fully examined. The aim of this study was to determine the association of long-term breastfeeding with joint pain and knee osteoarthritis in middle-aged Korean women. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 3,454 women aged ≥50 years who underwent knee radiography and answered a questionnaire on breastfeeding and joint pain for the 5 th Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2010–2011). After adjusting for confounding sociodemographic, medical history, and obstetric and gynecologic variables, logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze the incidence of joint pain and knee osteoarthritis according to breastfeeding and its duration. Among the 3,454 participants, 298 had not breastfed and 1,042, 815, and 1,299 had breastfed for 1–24, 25–48, and ≥49 months, respectively. Of all participants, 1,731 had joint pain and 739 were diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis after radiography. Results The odds ratio (OR) for joint pain among women who breastfed was 1.493 times higher than that among women who did not (p=0.044). As breastfeeding duration increased, the OR of joint pain incidence also increased (p for trend; p=0.002). For knee osteoarthritis, the OR was significantly different between the 25–48 and ≥49 months groups (2.299 [p=0.03] and 2.166 [p=0.047], respectively). Reanalysis after selecting only participants aged ≥60 years showed that the prevalence of joint pain and knee osteoarthritis was more positively correlated with extended breastfeeding duration (joint pain, p for trend; p=0.005) (knee osteoarthritis, p for trend; p=0.012). Conclusions Long-term feeding of more than 25 months was associated with an increased prevalence of arthralgia and degenerative arthritis after menopause in Korean elderly women.

Factors which influence the dental arch changes including genetic and environment. This study aims to determine thedifferences in size and shape of dental arch between men and women of Buginese, Makassarese and Torajanese. Thisstudy is an observational study, with a cross-sectional study design. The sampling method was purposive sampling, andnumber of samples were 90 samples obtained from 90 people with 30 people for each tribe, consist of 15 men and 15women, aged 18-25 years, with full dentition. Data were obtained through tcasting models of the maxillary andmandibular samples then were measured by using a ruler and caliper, then calculated using formula to determine,register, and analyze the size and shape of dental arch. Using multiple statistics, including t-test, ANOVA, chi-squaretest, and marginal of homogenity test there are significant differences regarding the size and shape of dental archbetween men and women of the Buginese, Makassarese, and Torajanese. There is only significant difference ofmaxillary dental arch for Buginese, Makassarese, and Torajanese
