Association between Obesity and Periodontitis in US Adults: NHANES 2011-2014.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

It is controversial whether obesity and periodontitis are related. A representative US population was examined for the relationship between obesity and periodontitis.

Methods

In the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2014, participants (n = 6,662) aged 30 years or older and who underwent periodontal examinations were chosen for analysis. An assessment of obesity was based on body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC). Estimates of obesity and periodontal disease were made using univariate and multivariate logistic regression models.

Results

According to an adjusted odds ratio (OR) for periodontitis, BMI (OR = 1.01, 95% CI: 1.01∼1.02) and WC (OR = 1.01, 95% CI: 1∼1.01) were significantly associated with periodontitis, re
