Triglycerides to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and its association with periodontitis-a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aim

Metabolic health is closely related to periodontal health. Obesity, metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus are bidirectionally associated with periodontitis. The triglycerides-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (Ty/HDLc ratio) has emerged as a novel biomarker that can predict the risk of several chronic metabolic diseases. We conducted this systematic review to consolidate the available evidence regarding the association between the Ty/HDLc ratio and periodontitis.

Methods

We systematically searched PubMed, SCOPUS, Embase, and Web of Science databases for studies that assessed the Ty/HDLc ratio and its association with periodontitis till May 2025. No date or language restrictions were applied. We included all observational studies in adults an
