The objective of this study was to examine the hypothesis that periodontal disease is associated with chronic non-communicable diseases.
In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated the periodontal health condition of the population, based on the community periodontal index, as well as the number of missing teeth and the presence of systemic health conditions. We quantified the association between oral health and the presence of chronic diseases using simple logistic regression, adjusting for confounding factors including age, smoking, and overweight.
The study population consisted of 334 volunteers, aged between 19 and 81 years. In patients over 45 years old, periodontal disease was found to be significantly associated with hypertension and diabetes. Furthermore, in female patients, periodontal disease was significantly associated with hypertension, diabetes, and cancer.
Our findings indicate that periodontal disease is positively and significantly associated with both arterial hypertension and diabetes, independent of potential confounding factors.
本研究的目的是检验牙周疾病与慢性非传染性疾病相关的假设。
在这项横断面研究中,我们基于社区牙周指数评估了人群的牙周健康状况,以及缺失牙数量和全身健康状况。我们使用简单逻辑回归对口腔健康与慢性病的存在之间的关联进行了量化,并对包括年龄、吸烟和超重在内的混杂因素进行了调整。
研究人群包括334名年龄在19至81岁之间的志愿者。在45岁以上的患者中,发现牙周疾病与高血压和糖尿病显著相关。此外,在女性患者中,牙周疾病与高血压、糖尿病和癌症显著相关。
我们的研究结果表明,牙周疾病与动脉高血压和糖尿病呈正相关且显著相关,独立于潜在的混杂因素。
