Relationship between overall and abdominal obesity and periodontal disease among young adults

Abstract

To assess overall and abdominal obesity and their relation to periodontal disease among young adults, body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) were measured and clinical attachment loss (CAL), gingival index (GI) and Community Periodontal Index (CPI) were estimated. The sample comprised 380 adults (170 males and 210 females) aged 20-26 years. There was a significant correlation between both BMI and WC and CAL, GI and CPI in females. In males, a significant correlation was only recorded between WC and GI and CPI. Overall and abdominal obesity in young adult females and abdominal obesity in males were significantly associated with periodontal disease.

Association Between Chronic Periodontal Disease and Obesity: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

“…Eight additional publications were identified as potentially relevant among the citation listings of included articles and review articles, and six of these articles were later excluded based on the same criteria. In total, 70 publications that represented 57 unique study populations were included for systematic review 35‐104 . A summary flowchart is presented in accordance with a proposal for reporting meta‐analysis of observational studies in epidemiology 105 (Fig.…”

“…Articles 35,36,39‐41,45,49,54,56,57,59,61‐64,67,68,72,74,77,82,84,90,92,95‐97,101 listed in Table 1 represent the study results that contributed to the calculation of the sOR. Tables 2 through 4 lists those results 37‐39,41‐43,46‐48,50‐52,57,60,63‐66,69‐72,76,78‐80,84‐86,90,94,98,99,101,102 that did not define periodontal disease and obesity as binary conditions but could contribute to an sMD (Tables 2 and 3) or linear sOR (Table 4).…”

“…Publications were written in English, and no study published before the year 1999 met the inclusion criteria. Calculating a measure of association between periodontal disease and obesity or MetS was a principle study aim of 24 publications 35,36,43,45,47‐49,54,57,59,63,64,66‐68,72,73,82,84‐86,90,101,103 . Forty‐one independent results reported a positive association, 35,36,39‐43,45‐49,51,54,56‐58,60,62,63,66‐70,72,74,76,78,80,82,84‐86,90,92,94,95,97,99,100 22 of which were statistically significant ( P <0.05) 36,39,41,43,48,49,54,56‐58,63,66,72,74,80,82,85,86,90,94,97,99 …”

Changes in Body Weight and Adiposity Predict Periodontitis Progression in Men

“…Using more than one index of obesity may refine the level of periodontitis risk. Within a given BMI category, males were shown to have higher odds of periodontitis as WC increased (El-Sayed Amin, 2010;Gorman et al, 2012).…”

Clinical Parameters of Oral Cavity, Physical and Microbiological Properties of Saliva in Patients with Obesity

“…Z kolei Range et al [22] uzyskali wyniki świadczące o umiarkowanym stanie zapalnym dziąseł u otyłych oraz o łagodnym u pacjentów o prawidłowej masie ciała: średnie wartości wskaźnika GI wynosiły odpowiednio 1,95 dla grupy badanej i 0,51 dla grupy kontrolnej. Bardzo zbliżone wyniki uzyskali również El-Sayed et al [23], wykazując statystycznie istotną różnicę w zakresie wskaźnika GI u pacjentów otyłych (GI = 1,80 u kobiet i 0,70 u mężczyzn) i bez otyłości (GI = 0,30 u kobiet i 0,50 u mężczyzn).…”
