Association between periodontitis stages and self-reported diseases in a Norwegian population: the HUNT study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The relationships between periodontitis and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have been investigated through several different case-definitions. The differences in methodology may have hindered the basis of comparison between these studies. The classification from the 2017 World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-implant Diseases and Conditions offers a unison platform that may facilitate future comparison of such research. The present study aimed to reproduce associations between periodontitis and other NCDs using the 2017 Classification, in the Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT).

Material and methods

The fourth HUNT-survey was carried out between 2017 and 2019. Clinical variables, blood samples and answers to questionnaires were collected from 4933
