Abstract

AIMS

A potential association between the periodontal disease and cognitive impairment has been suggested, but the results are not yet conclusive. This study investigated the association between the two diseases.

METHODS AND RESULTS

This study included 140 individuals (M: 48, F: 92, average age: 77.2). For assessing cognitive ability, MMSE-KC was used. The BGI index categorizes the periodontal disease based on important clinical parameters. In model 1 using the BGI index and the number of residual teeth as independent variables, the cognitive function status was significantly lower in the DL/MB group (β = -0.294), DL/LB group (β = -0.237). In Model 2 including systemic disease was the DL/MB group (β = -0.316) and in Model 3 which also added demographic characteristics, the DL/MB group (β = -0.229) was identified as a related factor (p < .05).

CONCLUSION

It can be concluded that periodontal disease is strongly associated with cognitive ability.

摘要

目的

牙周病与认知障碍之间可能存在关联，但结果尚不确定。本研究调查了这两种疾病之间的关系。

方法和结果

本研究纳入了 140 名个体（男性：48 名，女性：92 名，平均年龄：77.2 岁）。为了评估认知能力，使用了 MMSE-KC。BGI 指数根据重要的临床参数对牙周病进行分类。在使用 BGI 指数和剩余牙齿数量作为自变量的模型 1 中，DL/MB 组（β=-0.294）和 DL/LB 组（β=-0.237）的认知功能状态显著降低。在纳入系统性疾病的模型 2 中，DL/MB 组（β=-0.316），在还纳入人口统计学特征的模型 3 中，DL/MB 组（β=-0.229）被确定为相关因素（p<.05）。
