This study aimed to determine the association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and periodontitis in Korean postmenopausal women. The study selected 3320 menopause women (40-79-year-old) from those who participated in the seventh Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey (2016-2018). This association was determined using frequency and multiple logistic regression analyses. The prevalence of MetS in postmenopausal women was 33.2%, and among the MetS components, abdominal obesity showed a higher odds ratio of periodontitis by 1.36 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.12-1.65; < 0.05). The odds ratio for periodontitis was 1.34 times higher (95% CI: 1.12-1.60) in the MetS prevalence group with three or more MetS components ( < 0.05); however, after adjusting for demographic characteristics and health behavior variables, it was not statistically significant. Therefore, our results indicated that MetS has no association with periodontitis in postmenopausal women after adjusting for confounding variables.
本研究旨在确定代谢综合征（MetS）与韩国绝经后妇女牙周炎之间的关联。该研究从参加第七次韩国国家健康和营养调查（2016-2018 年）的人群中选择了 3320 名绝经后妇女（40-79 岁）。使用频率和多逻辑回归分析来确定这种关联。绝经后妇女的 MetS 患病率为 33.2%，在 MetS 成分中，腹型肥胖与牙周炎的比值比更高，为 1.36（95%置信区间（CI）：1.12-1.65；<0.05）。在患有三个或更多 MetS 成分的 MetS 患病率组中，牙周炎的比值比更高，为 1.34 倍（95%CI：1.12-1.60）（<0.05）；然而，在调整了人口统计学特征和健康行为变量后，这并不具有统计学意义。因此，我们的结果表明，在调整了混杂变量后，MetS 与绝经后妇女的牙周炎无关。
