Abstract

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine the oral health condition in a Japanese population aged 40 to 79, in Bauru, Brazil as well as its association with the occurrence of diabetes mellitus and impaired glucose tolerance. It involved 530 subjects, from both sexes. All persons of first generation (Issei) and a random sample of one third of second generation (Nisei) were submitted to a home interview. A clinical examination, oral glucose tolerance test, and examination of oral health conditions took place at the Hospital of Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomaly - USP. The data were processed by Epi-Info program and 22.9% of the individuals presented diabetes mellitus (group I), 15.1% impaired glucose tolerance (group II), and 61.9% were considered normoglycemics (group III). The percentage of edentulous subjects was 45.9% for the total sample, and values of 58.4%, 46.7%, and 41.2% were observed for groups I, II, and III, respectively. Among the edentulous subjects, no one showed necessity of making a total prothesis. These data indicate that tooth loss showed significant association with the occurrence of diabetes mellitus, but there was no significant association with glucose intolerance.

“…Besides, the results for OHCC registered here are similar to the results obtained in researches with non-hypertensive and non-diabetic adult and elderly populations 28,34,36,38,39,43,44 and with populations in which the DM incidence is related [6][7][8][9]33,46 . Although the evidences of relations in CNCD, specially the DM, such as OHCC [6][7][8][9]33 , it is possible that other factors, such as other pathologies associated (age, gender; economical, social and cultural aspects) and variable aspects that remain unclear, play a more relevant role on determining health issues in adult and, specially, elderly populations (considering 64.83 the average registered age), concealing or dissimulating the comorbidity role, such as SAH and DM on oral diseases.…”

Comparative study of the soft tissue of young Japanese-Brazilian, Caucasian and Mongoloid patients
