The periodontal health status of diabetic patients and the association between periodontal disease and treatment mode, age and duration of diabetes were investigated in 86 dentulous men and women aged between 20 years and 69 years. 43 were diabetics regularly controlled at Kenyatta National Hospital Diabetic Clinic and 43 were non-diabetics attending medical outpatient clinic at the same hospital for minor ailments. Diabetic patients were found to have significant severer levels of periodontal disease than the non-diabetics. The difference persisted with increasing age. No correlation was found between treatment mode and duration of diabetes on one hand and the severity of periodontal disease on the other.
对86名年龄在20岁至69岁之间的无牙颌男女的牙周健康状况以及牙周疾病与治疗方式、年龄和糖尿病病程之间的关联进行了调查。43名是在肯雅塔国家医院糖尿病诊所接受定期治疗的糖尿病患者，43名是因小病在同一家医院的内科门诊就诊的非糖尿病患者。发现糖尿病患者的牙周疾病严重程度明显高于非糖尿病患者。随着年龄增长，这种差异依然存在。一方面，治疗方式和糖尿病病程与另一方面的牙周疾病严重程度之间未发现相关性。
