Summary: This study examines the relationship between dental caries and malnutrition in children. The results suggest that the development of pulpally involved carious lesions has an effect on wasting outcomes, but not on stunting. This highlights the importance of oral health promotion and preventive measures in low-income settings to promote normal growth and development among preschool children.

Dietary patterns should be considered when devising interventions aimed at preventing dental caries.

Summary: The study reveals that one-third of the population in the UK seeks dental care only when experiencing acute dental pain or problems. Analysis of visit codes to general medical practices in Wales shows that dental attendance was low before 1987 but increased sharply after 2006, coinciding with changes in National Health Service policies. Repeat attenders were more likely to reside in urban or deprived areas.

Summary: The analysis of adult mortality trends in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia revealed a shift from communicable diseases to NCDs as the leading cause of death over 10 years. While progress has been made in reducing communicable disease mortality, there is still a significant burden of NCDs that calls for improved healthcare access and community education for increased awareness. Integrating NCD interventions into existing successful programs targeting communicable diseases could enhance comprehensive healthcare provision.

Summary: This paper examines migration in Iceland during the period 1986-2017 and finds that despite a high overall migration rate, there has been a slight long-term downward trend in all moves. Migration rates are highly sensitive to economic fluctuations, and economic downturns result in decreased migration.
