Cross‐sectional association between physical strength, obesity, periodontitis and number of teeth in a general population

Abstract

Periodontitis is associated with GS modified mainly by anthropometric measures related to adiposity and inflammation. Putative mechanisms encompass interactions of factors declining with increasing age.

Handgrip strength and the number of teeth among Korean population

“…found that a significant association between the number of teeth and handgrip strength disappeared after adjusting for confounders in 80‐year‐old participants. Our data show additional evidence by complementing elements that were not sufficiently addressed in previous studies …”

“…No studies have reported the effect of the number of teeth on handgrip strength in Koreans. Considering that the association between the number of teeth and handgrip strength remains controversial, the results of this nationwide representative study are significant.…”

“…Existing published evidence shows conflicting results on handgrip strength and various oral health conditions, such as periodontitis, the number of teeth, chewing ability, occlusal force, and tongue pressure . Two cross‐sectional studies failed to show a significant association between the number of teeth and handgrip strength in a Japanese population.…”

Association of advanced glycation end products with peri‐implant inflammation in prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus patients

“…[24][25][26] Similarly, in a recent cross-sectional study that assessed peri-implant outcomes in obese and non-obese patients, 27 showed that increased body weight is a predisposing factor for poor peri-implant outcomes that is possibly modified by c-reactive protein (a proinflammatory biomarker). Several recent studies reported that increased BMI is a modifying risk factor for periodontal tissue destruction.…”

Flexible ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy with PolyScope for senile patients with renal calculi

“…Traditional open surgery has lots of complications with considerate influence to renal function. The elderly with low body reserve capacity, reduced tolerance to surgery, slow postoperative recovery may develop many complications as the result of prolonged bed rest after open surgery (6,7). In the past, limited by the hardware, kidney stones were treated by ESWL or PCNL with limited safety and efficacy (8).…”
