Caries Research Mar 22, 2019
Lim S, et al. - In this 4-year cohort study of low-income African-American children and caregivers, data from the Detroit Dental Health Project was estimated to study advantage of targeted maximum likelihood estimation (TMLE) method in approaching longitudinal data analysis challenges and also to determine the consequence of soda intake on pediatric caries. They noted 43% of children consistently consuming soda whereas 21% were nonconsumers. They tested the association between soda intake patterns and caries using TMLE. They found that kids with a regular soda intake had 1.03 more caries lesions as compared to those with no regular soda intake on average.
