Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to investigate the link between periodontitis (gum disease) and cancer mortality in patients aged 75 and older, as both conditions are more common in older adults.
- The study analyzed data from 1,146 patients, measuring indicators like teeth loss and alveolar bone loss to determine their association with cancer risk using statistical models.
- Results showed that older adults with periodontitis have a higher risk of dying from cancer, particularly total cancer and cancers of the lip, oral cavity, and pharynx.
