Saliva Changes in Pediatric Patients with Eating Disorders
Objectives: To determine the differences between pediatric patients with eating disorders (ED) and the control group in the amount of saliva and the concentration of total amylase and electrolytes in saliva, and to evaluate the correlation between the saliva changes and nutritional status.

| description | Objectives: To determine the differences between pediatric patients with eating disorders (ED) and the control group in the amount of saliva and the concentration of total amylase and electrolytes in saliva, and to evaluate the correlation between the saliva changes and nutritional status. Material and methods: The study included 101 participants (14.34 ±1.99 years), out of which 50 participants with ED subgroups and 51 participants in the control group. Data were statistically analyzed (Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, chi-square, Spearman rank correlation test, α=0.05). Results: No significant differences in salivary volume between the groups were found. A significant difference in the volume of saliva secreted in the 5th and 15th minute was found between the anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa subgroups. The examined anthropometric parameters were marginally or significantly positively associated with saliva volume at 5 and 15 minutes, noting a more significant correlation of the same at 15 than at 5 minutes. The patients with ED had a significantly higher concentration of inorganic phosphates in saliva while the concentrations of other electrolytes and total amylase in saliva did not differ significantly. Conclusions: Nutritional status affects salivation. There is a difference in saliva volume in pediatric patients with different ED disorders. Variations in saliva electrolytes in pediatric patients with ED are possible |
