Body Mass Index and Association With Caries in School-Aged Children With Orofacial Cleft: A Case-Control Study.

CONCLUSIONS: Five- and 10-year-old children with corrected CL/P seemed to have a lower BMI than controls, but there was no association between BMI and caries frequency. Internationally adopted children with CL/P were lighter and shorter than non-adopted CL/P children and controls.
