To evaluate the relationship between systemic diseases, body mass index and periodontal treatment needs in an older population in Greece.
A total of 262 older people were clinically examined about their periodontal status and medical histories were recorded using a health history questionnaire. Additionally, weight and height measurements as well as demographic data were obtained from the participants in the study.
Older people exhibited mean age of 63.98 years, weight of 78.76 kg and height of 1.64 m. The mean CPITN score was 2.84. 31.7% of the study population were smokers and 53.8% females. No statistically significant difference was observed in seniors between periodontal treatment needs and systemic diseases. Females exhibited statistically significant more often osteoporosis, thyroid disorders (p<0.001) and hypercholesterolemia (p=0.014) than males. High CPTIN scores were not associated with higher levels of BMI.
Within the limitation of this study, older adults' periodontal treatment needs are not associated significantly with a great number of systemic diseases and body mass index.

评估希腊老年人群中全身疾病、体重指数与牙周治疗需求之间的关系。
对总共262名老年人进行了牙周状况的临床检查,并使用健康史问卷记录其病史。此外,还从研究参与者处获取了体重和身高测量数据以及人口统计学数据。
老年人的平均年龄为63.98岁,体重为78.76千克,身高为1.64米。社区牙周指数(CPITN)平均得分为2.84。研究人群中31.7%为吸烟者,53.8%为女性。在老年人中,牙周治疗需求与全身疾病之间未观察到统计学上的显著差异。女性患骨质疏松症、甲状腺疾病(p<0.001)和高胆固醇血症(p=0.014)的比例在统计学上显著高于男性。社区牙周指数(CPITN)高分与较高的体重指数水平无关。
在本研究的局限性范围内,老年人的牙周治疗需求与大量全身疾病和体重指数无显著关联。
