Prevalence of chronic periodontitis in an obese population: a preliminary study (original) (raw)

F1000Research, 2022

Background: The present study aimed to investigate the correlation between obesity and periodontitis, among other risk factors for periodontitis. Methods: In total, 262 Indonesian male and female subjects were analysed for body mass index (BMI), oral hygiene, plaque index, and clinically evaluated periodontitis. Statistical analysis was performed using Spearman tests and Pearson chi-square tests to estimate the correlation between BMI and periodontitis. Multivariate binary logistic analysis was conducted between covariate and periodontitis. P<0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: The prevalence of obesity was 48.47%. There were positive correlations between BMI and periodontal status for healthy-mild periodontitis, moderate, and severe periodontitis respectively. BMI and periodontitis crude odds ratio (OR) = 2.31 (95% CI 1.41-3.78); p

Establishing the association of periodontal disease with obesity and overweight

IP Innovative Publication Pvt.Ltd, 2017

Background and Objective: According to statistics provided by WHO, in 2014, over 600 million individuals were declared obese. India alone accounts for 20% of the world's obese adults. It has been established that obesity is associated with various other systemic diseases. This study aimed to establish if there existed a similar association between Body Mass Index (BMI) and periodontal disease among the North Indian adult population. Materials and Method: A cross sectional study was conducted from October-December 2015, recruiting a total of 199 subjects who had been diagnosed with chronic periodontitis and gave no history of systemic illness. The personal details of the subjects including their age, sex, etc. were recorded along with their height (in cm) and weight (in Kg). Body mass index was calculated and subjects were categorized based on the same. Periodontal status was assessed using Russell's Periodontal Index (PI). Results: A significant difference was seen in the values of BMI and PI, as well as in the BMI categories, among the study participants when categorized by gender. When the subjects were stratified according to 3 age groups: young (18–34), middle aged (35–60) and older adults (60+), a highly significant change was observed in the mean BMI and PI scores between the 3 categories. A weak and statistically insignificant association was found between the subjects' BMI and their respective periodontal status. Conclusion: Though the literature supports a positive correlation between obesity and periodontal disease incidence and severity, the findings of our study implied the presence of an indistinct link between periodontal disease and body mass index among different variables in the North Indian adult demographic.

Relationship between obesity and oral diseases

Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice, 2014

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between obesity and periodontal status and dental caries experience of a group of Nigerian dental patients. Materials and Methods: Participants were selected from patients attending dental outpatient clinics of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City, Nigeria. Their weight and height were measured and body mass index (BMI) estimated in kg/m 2 , gingival health assessed using bleeding on probing index, oral hygiene estimated using the simplified oral hygiene index (OHI-S), periodontal health estimated using the basic periodontal examination (BPE) and caries experience was estimated with the decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) index. Results: A few participants (3.8%) were underweight, 52.6% fell within the normal BMI range, 28.2% preobese, 12.2% obese class I and 3.2% obese class II. The mean OHI-S score was 2.16 ± 1.13 among the overweight participants and 2.05 ± 1.13 among those who are not (P = 0.543). The mean DMFT score was 3.03 ± 4.25 among the overweight participants and 2.32 ± 3.01 among those who are not (P = 0.223). Sixty-five percent of participants with BPE score of 0, considered to signify periodontal health, had normal BMI while all the participants with the worst BPE score recorded belong to the obese 1 group (P = 0.070). The binary logistic regression revealed that the likely predictor of gingival bleeding in the study is BMI between 35.0 and 39.9 (obese class 2) (P = 0.046, odds ratio = 0.07, 95% confidence interval = 0.01-0.96). Conclusion: It can be concluded from this study that there is no statistically significant relationship between obesity and periodontal status and dental caries experience in the studied group of dental patients. Increased BMI may however be a predictor of gingival bleeding.

The effect of obesity on the periodontal health status

International Journal of Advanced Research in Biological Sciences (IJARBS), 2016

Background: Obesity increases the host's susceptibility by modulating the immune and inflammatory systems in a manner that predisposes to inflammatory tissue destruction and leaves an individual at greater risk of periodontitis. Aim of the study: this study was designed to compare periodontal health status of patients with normal weight and obese patients. Materials and methods: The studied sample consisted of (60 females subjects) aged 25-35 years who attended to the teaching hospital of the college of dentistry/Baghdad University. The age was recorded according to the last birthday (WHO, 1997) 1. They should be non-smoker, systemically healthy; shouldn't wear any fixed or removable dental prostheses or orthodontic appliance.The sample was divided into 3 groups according to their body mass index (BMI), each group included 20 subjects. The first group was the normal weight group (Group N), and their BMI was (18.50-24.99)the second group was the pre-obese group (Group P) (BMI was 25.00-29.99)andthe third group was the obese group (Group O) (BMI was ≥30.00). Plaque index PLI, gingival index GI and bleeding on probing BOP were measured for all groups. Results: PLI was highly significant in group (O) and (P) than in the normal group (N). GI was higher in groups (O) and (P) than in the normal group (N) with high significant difference and by using the chi-square to compare the BOP score 1 among the three groups, we found that score 1 was higher in the obese and the pre-obese group than the normal weight with high significant difference Conclusion: Plaque index, gingival index and bleeding on probing scores were significantly higher in the group of subjects with obesity.

Association between Obesity and Chronic Periodontitis: A Cross-sectional Study

The Journal of Contemporary Dental Practice, 2013

Aim Chronic periodontitis is multifactorial and numerous risk factors have been identified to contribute in the disease progression. Current study aimed to conduct a cross-sectional study in a population of patients with cardiovascular diseases in order to correlate the association between obesity [body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC)] and periodontal disease parameters. Materials and methods The study was of a cross-sectional design and a total of 201 patients were examined after obtaining their informed consent. Subjects who had a history of cardiovascular diseases and under treatment were included in the study. Two indicators of obesity were used: BMI and WC. The following periodontal parameters were assessed: Probing depth, clinical attachment level. The oral hygiene status of the subjects was assessed by the oral hygiene index (OHI, simplified) given by John C Greene and Jack R Vermillion. The influence of the BMI and other confounding variables on periodontitis s...

Relationship between Body Mass Index and Periodontal Disease among Adults Attending the Out Patients Department of ITS Dental College

2020

Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between obesity and periodontitis. Introduction: It is evident from the scientific literature that general health has considerable impact on oral health and vice versa. Obesity is excessive body fat in proportion to lean body mass, to such an extent that health is impaired. Obesity, a serious public health problem, relates to a chronic low-grade systemic inflammation and is involved in the development of obesity-linked disorders including insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The accurate process whereby obesity can affect periodontal health is so far unclear. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relation between obesity (using body mass index [BMI] and various periodontal parameters. Material and methods: A total of 60 subjects were equally divided into two groups (30 study and 30 control group). The study group comprised of individuals with BMI 25-29.99 (overweight), BMI >30 (obese) and the control group comprises of individuals with BMI 18.5-24.99 (normal).BMI was calculated as ratio of subject's body weight (in Kg) to the square of their height(in meters). Oral examination was performed on the subjects, which included Oral Hygiene Index (OHI) & gingival index (GI). Statistical Analysis Used: Statistical analysis was performed by student (unpaired) t-test. Results and Conclusion: There was a significant difference between the BMI and oral health of obese individuals when compared to the control group.
