Chronic Periodontitis as a Risk Factor for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: Objective: The association between periodontitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has been controversial. This study aimed to estimate the association between recurrent periodontitis episodes and the occurrence of BPH in an adult male population in Korea. Methods: This study analyzed data from 79,497 matched cases and controls to examine the relationship between periodontitis and BPH, using Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort data. Conditional logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), adjusting for confounding factors. Results: The odds of BPH were significantly higher for participants with periodontitis ≥ 1 within 1 year (OR = 1.34, 95% CI = 1.31-1.37), particularly in low-income
