The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between obesity and periodontitis.
A total of 300 subjects aged 20 years and above suffering from generalized periodontitis were recruited from Department of Periodontics, Pacific Dental College and Hospital, Udaipur. Periodontal status of the subjects was recorded. Body mass index and waist circumference were used as measure to assess obesity. Other variables like age, gender, oral hygiene index were also recorded.
When evaluation was done for prevalence of periodontal disease according to BMI in obese and non-obese, the prevalence of periodontal disease was significantly (P=0.03) more in obese (88%) than in non-obese (74.4%) individuals. [OR=-20.4 and 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.3-1.3].
The prevalence of periodontal disease is higher among obese subjects. Obesity could be a potential risk factor for periodontal disease in all age groups.
本研究旨在评估肥胖与牙周炎之间的关系。
从乌代布尔太平洋牙科学院和医院牙周病科招募了300名年龄在20岁及以上的患有广泛性牙周炎的受试者。记录受试者的牙周状况。使用体重指数和腰围作为评估肥胖的指标。还记录了年龄、性别、口腔卫生指数等其他变量。
根据肥胖和非肥胖受试者的体重指数对牙周疾病患病率进行评估时，肥胖者（88%）的牙周疾病患病率显著高于非肥胖者（74.4%）（P = 0.03）。[比值比=-20.4，95%置信区间（CI）1.3 - 1.3]。
肥胖受试者中牙周疾病的患病率较高。肥胖可能是所有年龄组牙周疾病的一个潜在危险因素。
