This study aims to evaluate oral and systemic health conditions among students and former students of undergraduate and postgraduate programs at the University of São Paulo over five years. The primary focus is to understand how oral health impacts academic performance and attendance, providing insights for health promotion strategies within the university community.
The study employs a prospective cohort design to explore multiple health-related outcomes, including periodontal health, oral health literacy, and the prevalence of caries. The data collected will also examine social and behavioral predictors of oral health, such as dietary habits, stress, and use of substances like tobacco and electronic cigarettes.
