Association Between Neutrophil Percentage-to-Albumin Ratio and Periodontitis: A Cross-Sectional Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction and aims

Neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) is a novel biomarker of systemic inflammation. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between NPAR and periodontitis.

Methods

Data from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2009 and 2014 (N = 10,128) were utilized in this cross-sectional study. Periodontitis categories were defined according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention and American Academy of Periodontology (CDC/AAP) classification. The NPAR was calculated by dividing the neutrophil percentage by serum albumin. Covariates included age, sex, race, education level, annual household income, marital status, smoking status, BMI, recreational activity, work activity, diabetes mellitus, hyperte
