Association between oral health conditions and the risk of major noncommunicable diseases: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Although epidemiological studies suggest that oral health conditions may be associated with an increased risk of noncommunicable diseases, the findings have yet to be comprehensively synthesized, particularly for a major noncommunicable diseases-related health and economic burden. Therefore, we will perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of all available observational studies investigating the association between oral health conditions and subsequent risk of major noncommunicable diseases.

Methods

With limited English publications, we will search electronic databases, including MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and CINAHL. Based on the temporal properties and natural course of disease progression, we will seek cohort or case-control studies
