The relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus and periodontal disease was evaluated in 2,878 Pima Indians of the southwestern United States. Two independent measures of periodontal disease, probing attachment loss and radiographic bone loss, were used to compare prevalence and severity of periodontal disease in diabetic and nondiabetic subjects. In all age groups studied, subjects with diabetes had a higher prevalence of periodontal disease, indicating that diabetes may be a risk factor for periodontal disease.
在美国西南部的2878名皮马印第安人中评估了2型糖尿病与牙周病之间的关系。使用牙周病的两项独立测量指标，即探诊附着丧失和影像学骨丧失，来比较糖尿病患者和非糖尿病患者牙周病的患病率和严重程度。在所有研究的年龄组中，糖尿病患者的牙周病患病率更高，这表明糖尿病可能是牙周病的一个危险因素。
