The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between impaired pulmonary function and periodontitis.
From the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data, we examined the association between pulmonary function and severity of periodontitis using the univariate and multivariate regression models. Moreover, the association between obstructive or restrictive spirometry patterns and periodontitis status was also determined by multivariable logistic regression analysis.
A total of 10,645 participants were included in our study. The values of predicted FEV1%, predicted FVC%, and FEV1/FVC were found to gradually decline with increasing severity of periodontitis (p < .001). Obstructive and restrictive pulmonary functions were significantly associated with severity of periodontitis.
Individuals with a greater degree of periodontitis had poor pulmonary function. However, further long-term cohort studies are required for a comprehensive evaluation.
本研究旨在探讨肺功能受损与牙周炎之间的关联。
我们利用第三次全国健康和营养调查数据，采用单变量和多变量回归模型，研究了肺功能与牙周炎严重程度之间的关系。此外，还通过多变量逻辑回归分析确定了阻塞性或限制性肺功能模式与牙周炎状态之间的关联。
本研究共纳入 10645 名参与者。随着牙周炎严重程度的增加，预测的 FEV1%、预测的 FVC%和 FEV1/FVC 值逐渐下降（p<0.001）。阻塞性和限制性肺功能与牙周炎严重程度显著相关。
牙周炎程度较重的个体肺功能较差。然而，还需要进行进一步的长期队列研究以进行全面评估。
