The Association of Periodontitis With Risk of Prevalent and Incident Metabolic Syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To investigate whether periodontitis is associated with prevalent and incident metabolic syndrome (MetS).

Materials and methods

The baseline study included 4183 individuals from a population-based survey (DILGOM) in 2007 and follow-up of 1047 participants with clinical re-examination in 2014. The risk of periodontitis was assessed with saliva biomarkers using a validated, three-group cumulative risk score for periodontitis (CRS I, II and III).

Results

In fully adjusted models, CRS III was associated with prevalent MetS (OR: 1.35, 95% CI [1.11-1.65]), high waist circumference (1.55 95% CI [1.26-1.91]), high blood pressure (1.29 95% CI [1.05-1.59]) and the number of MetS components (β: 0.18, 95% CI [0.06-0.30]). Among participants without MetS at baseline (n = 618),
