Nutritional Status in Orthognathic Surgery Patients

Determination of Pre- and Post-Operational Nutritional Status in Orthognathic Surgery Patients

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of orthognathic surgery on nutritional status, anthropometric measurements, food consumption levels, physical activity levels, biochemical parameters, chewing ability and oral-health impact profile.

Sub-objectives of the study;

• Determining nutritional status changes after orthognathic surgery
• Determining changes in anthropometric measurements (body weight, BMI, fat mass, muscle mass, total body water, waist circumference, hip circumference, mid-upper arm circumference) after orthognathic surgery
• Determining food consumption changes after orthognathic surgery
• Determining changes is physical activity levels after orthognathic surgery
• Determining changes in biochemical parameters 3 months after orthognathic surgery
• Determining changes in chewing ability after orthognathic surgery
• Determining changes in oral-health impact profile after orthognathic surgery
• Determining changes in pain intensity

The aim of this study is to compare these parameters preoperative to postoperative timeline of orthognathic surgery patients.
