Association between serum uric acid, hyperuricemia and periodontitis: a cross-sectional study using NHANES data.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Diabetes and other metabolic diseases have been linked to the development of periodontitis, but little research has been done to determine whether serum uric acid (SUA) levels and hyperuricemia play a role. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between SUA, hyperuricemia, and periodontitis.

Methods

Using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2014, we created a nationally representative data set. We used multivariable logistic regression models to assess the relationship between SUA, hyperuricemia, and periodontitis and presented odds ratios (OR) in women and men, respectively.

Results

In women, adjusted multivariable regression models showed that SUA (4.1-4.3mg/dl) was associated with higher odds of periodon
