2018, Revista de Nutrición Clínica y Metabolismo
Background: Obesity is a multifactorial chronic disease that has been associated positively with periodontal disease. The purpose of this study was to analyze the associated factors to chronic periodontitis in a group of obese patients. Methods: This study evaluated 101 obese participants aged between 18 and 60 who attended a referral center for the surgical treatment of obesity. All participants underwent periodontal examination, had anthropometric measurements and completed the structured questionnaire. Obesity was defined as a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m 2. Periodontitis was defined according to the criteria of Eke & Page, 2012. Descriptive analysis, bivariate and multivariate were used. Results: The prevalence of periodontitis in this group of obese patients was 35.6 %. Regarding the severity, 19.8 % of the patients had mild chronic periodontitis. 44.5 % of the subjects were classified as obese type I, 38.6 % obese type II and 16.8 % obese type III. Chronic periodontitis was significantly associated in a positive way with age, years of education and arterial hypertension. After adjusting for some variables, only age (46-60 years) remained significantly associated with increased odds of periodontitis [OR: 4.91, 95 % CI 1.02-23.56]. Conclusion: A prevalence of chronic periodontitis of 35.6 % was found. The increase in age, ≤ 12 years of education and hypertension are risk factors for the manifestation of periodontitis in this group of patients.
