Body weight status and magnesium may influence vitamin D activity. To determine whether salivary vitamin D, magnesium, and calcium levels are associated with body weight status and dental caries severity in children, this cross\u2010sectional research was conducted.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The sample consisted of 180 boys aged 6\u20138 years. According to their body mass index (BMI), children were assigned to three groups of 60 boys (normal weight, overweight, and obese). Moreover, within each weight group, the sample was divided into three groups according to caries severity (20 children in each group): mild (dmft\u2009\u2264\u20093), moderate (dmft\u2009=\u20094\u20136), and severe (dmft\u2009\u2265\u20097). Unstimulated whole saliva was obtained from each child in the morning (9\u2009:\u200900\u201311\u2009:\u200900 a.m.) at least 1\u2009h after food or drink intake. Participants were seated and asked to accumulate saliva in the floor of their mouth and then spit into sterile, prelabeled polypropylene tubes over a 5\u2009min period; the samples were then analyzed to assess salivary vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium concentrations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Salivary vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium concentrations were significantly higher in boys with normal weight than in overweight and obese boys (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2264 0.05), the same results were recorded in mild caries children compared to those with moderate and severe caries (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2264 0.05).
