Data from three different sources of periodontal patients were collected and examined to find if there was a significant difference between these groups relative to the prevalence of medical problems. Data were evaluated to show if age and sex were significantly related to the existence of medical problems and to determine which problems were the most prevalent. A total of 581 periodontal patients' records were obtained. Results of the evaluation showed that the private office group had 27.6% medical problems, the academic dental center had 46.3%, and the hospital dental clinic had 74.1%. Cardiovascular disease was the most prevalent medical problem in all groups and orthopedic disease or injury was second. Within each group, sex was not significantly related to the presence of a medical problem. Age was a highly significant factor, with the prevalence of medical problems increasing with advancing age.
收集并检查了来自三个不同来源的牙周病患者的数据，以确定这些组在医疗问题患病率方面是否存在显著差异。对数据进行评估，以显示年龄和性别是否与医疗问题的存在显著相关，并确定哪些问题最为普遍。总共获得了581名牙周病患者的记录。评估结果显示，私人诊所组有27.6%的医疗问题，学术牙科中心有46.3%，医院牙科诊所则有74.1%。心血管疾病是所有组中最普遍的医疗问题，骨科疾病或损伤位居第二。在每组中，性别与医疗问题的存在没有显著关系。年龄是一个非常显著的因素，医疗问题的患病率随着年龄的增长而增加。
