“…Periodontal disease, overweight/obesity and NCDs such as diabetes are closely related due to common risk factors, comprising especially excess sugar ingesting and communal inflammatory pathways [ 35 ]. In the present study BMI tended to increase with age contributing to the increase in waist circumference [ 36 ] which are known to be associated to periodontal disease [ 37 , 38 ]. In the age group of 18–39 years, the only significant predictor for periodontal status was ‘waist circumference’.…”

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between food choices and periodontal health status (PHS) in adults who receive care through a public health system. We evaluated food preferences and periodontal status in a sample of 442 individuals with at least eight natural teeth. We employed the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) to assess food choices and the Periodontal Screening and Recording (PSR) instrument to evaluate periodontal health status during clinical appointments. Fisher’s discriminant analysis was used to differentiate the participants according to PHS severity within three age-ranges (18–39; 40–59 and > 60 years-old). The results showed that the prevalence of overweight/obesity was high in all age groups (above 65%), and BMI increased with age, accompanied by an increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases. A lower preference for natural foods and a higher intake of processed and ultra-processed foods, along with a high waist circumference and diabetes, were associated with a poorer periodontal health status. In the 18–39 age group, a lower waist circumference was associated with healthier periodontal status. In the 40–59 age group, a worse periodontal status resulted from a higher frequency of diabetes, lower intake of green leafy vegetables, olive oil, and fruit, and higher intake of industrialized juice. Conversely, a healthier periodontal status was associated with a lower frequency of diabetes and higher intake of fruit and vegetables. In the > 60age group, the worst periodontal status was associated with male sex. Overall, the study highlights the possible beneficial role of a healthy diet in maintaining periodontal health, particularly for those who receive care through a public health system.

Background: Central obesity is strongly associated with obesity-related and metabolic diseases, which is a common health problem in sedentary adults, particularly in women, but the mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and factors associated with central obesity in white-collar workers Chinese population, and explore potential sex differences. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between 2017 and 2019 at two large general hospitals in northern and southern China. Totally 6,081 white-collar workers underwent a physical examination and completed an online health self-report questionnaire, which included demographic variables, lifestyle factors and blood lipid test. Multilevel logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the prevalence and factors of central obesity. Results: A total of 4,973 male and 1,108 female white-collar workers were included in this study, and the incidence of central obesity was 67.5% and 30.1%, respectively. In male white-collar workers, increasing age, chronic disease, higher levels of total cholesterol, salt intake and BEE, social engagement, eating spicy food and animal offal were risk factors for central obesity, while a higher HDL-C level, eating fish, and high vegetable intake were protective factors. In female white-collar workers, increasing age, higher total cholesterol level, higher BEE, and overeating were risk factors for central obesity, while a higher HDL-C level, and drinking milk were protective factors. Conclusions: Central obesity was a significant public health concern and the prevalence was high in Chinese adults. Healthy lifestyles and dietary measures to control the rates of central obesity should be undertaken to circumvent the growing disease burden in Chinese people..

Objective The global obesity epidemic remains a significant threat to public health and the economy. Age-period-cohort (APC) analysis is one method to model the trajectory of obesity. However, there is scarce published evidence of such analyses among the South East Asian population. This study aims to explore the sex and ethnic variations of BMI and waist circumference trajectories over time among non-institutionalized Malaysian adults aged 18 to 80 years. Methods Data from four population-based National Health and Morbidity Surveys conducted in 1996, 2006, 2010, and 2015 were pooled. Hierarchical Age-Period-Cohort (HAPC) analysis explored the trajectories of BMI and waist circumference across the life course and birth cohorts by sex and ethnicity. These models assumed no period effect. Results Generally, BMI and waist circumference trajectories increased across age and birth cohorts. These trajectories varied by sex and ethnicity. Females have more profound increasing BMI and waist circumference trajectories than their male counterparts as they age and as cohort recency increases. Chinese have less profound BMI and waist circumference increases across the life course and birth cohorts than other ethnic groups. Conclusions The profound increasing cohort trajectories of obesity, regardless of sex and ethnicity, are alarming. Future studies should focus on identifying factors associated with the less profound cohort effect among the Chinese to reduce the magnitude of trajectories in obesity, particularly among future generations.
