We investigated the relationship between periodontal treatment and pre-clinical Alzheimer's disease (AD).
In this quasi-experimental design, 177 periodontally treated patients from the "Greifswald Approach to Individualized Medicine" cohort, which used the same protocols as the population-based Study of Health in Pomerania TREND (SHIP-TREND), and 409 untreated subjects from SHIP-TREND were analyzed. Subjects were younger than 60 years at the magnetic resonance imaging examination, with a median observation period of 7.3 years. Imaging markers for brain atrophy in late-onset AD and brain aging were used as the outcomes.
Robust to sensitivity analyses, periodontal treatment had a favorable effect on AD-related brain atrophy (-0.41; 95% confidence interval: -0.70 to -0.12; P = .0051), which corresponds to a shift from the 50th to the 37th percentile of the outcome distribution. For brain aging, the treatment effect was uncertain.
Periodontitis is related to pre-clinical AD in our population.
我们研究了牙周治疗与临床前阿尔茨海默病(AD)之间的关系。
在这项准实验设计中,我们分析了来自“Greifswald 个体化医学方法”队列的 177 名接受牙周治疗的患者和来自基于人群的什未林前瞻性老龄化研究 TREND(SHIP-TREND)的 409 名未接受治疗的患者。在磁共振成像检查时,患者年龄均小于 60 岁,中位观察期为 7.3 年。使用与迟发性 AD 和脑老化相关的脑萎缩影像学标志物作为结果。
经敏感性分析证实,牙周治疗对 AD 相关脑萎缩有积极影响(-0.41;95%置信区间:-0.70 至 -0.12;P =.0051),这相当于从结果分布的第 50 个百分位移到第 37 个百分位。对于脑老化,治疗效果不确定。
在我们的人群中,牙周炎与临床前 AD 有关。
