To assess overall and abdominal obesity and their relation to periodontal disease among young adults, body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) were measured and clinical attachment loss (CAL), gingival index (GI) and Community Periodontal Index (CPI) were estimated. The sample comprised 380 adults (170 males and 210 females) aged 20-26 years. There was a significant correlation between both BMI and WC and CAL, GI and CPI in females. In males, a significant correlation was only recorded between WC and GI and CPI. Overall and abdominal obesity in young adult females and abdominal obesity in males were significantly associated with periodontal disease.
为了评估年轻人的总体肥胖和腹部肥胖及其与牙周病的关系,测量了体重指数(BMI)和腰围(WC),并评估了临床附着丧失(CAL)、牙龈指数(GI)和社区牙周指数(CPI)。该样本包括 380 名年龄在 20-26 岁的成年人(170 名男性和 210 名女性)。在女性中,BMI 和 WC 与 CAL、GI 和 CPI 之间均存在显著相关性。在男性中,仅记录到 WC 与 GI 和 CPI 之间存在显著相关性。年轻女性的总体肥胖和腹部肥胖以及男性的腹部肥胖与牙周病显著相关。
