Hyperuricemia and elevated uric acid/creatinine ratio are associated with stages III/IV periodontitis: a population-based cross-sectional study (NHANES 2009-2014).

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To explore the association between hyperuricemia and having periodontitis.

Materials and methods

A representative cross-sectional dataset of 10,158 adults was extracted from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2009-2014. The association between hyperuricemia (the primary exposure) and having periodontitis (outcome) were evaluated using weighted logistic regression models. Serum uric acid (UA) levels and the UA to creatinine (UA/Cr) ratio were used as secondary exposures. Their associations with the diagnosis periodontitis were analyzed using weighted logistic regression or restricted cubic spline regression.

Results

The prevalence of Stages III/IV periodontitis was 47.7% among individuals with hyperuricemia and 37.4% among those wi
