Relationship between three body obesity indicators, WWI, BMI, WtHR, and periodontitis.

Many scholars have studied the relationship between obesity and periodontitis. The relationship between different obesity indicators and periodontitis seems to vary. In this study, we would like to explore the relationship between three commonly used obesity indicators, WWI (weight-adjusted-waist index), BMI (body mass index), WtHR (waist-to-height ratio), and periodontitis, and try to find the most clinically valuable indicators.

Association between "a body shape index" (ABSI) with periodontitis in a hypertension population from the NHANES 2009-2014.

A body Shape index (ABSI), defined as waist circumference (WC)/(body mass index (BMI) × height), is unique in that the ABSI is positively associated with visceral obesity and is independent of BMI. The ABSI has also been shown to be positively and linearly correlated with the amount of visceral adiposity in the general population and with all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, it is uncertain whether ABSI is associated with periodontitis in hypertensive patients.

Red blood cell folate level is associated with periodontitis in American adults: results from the NHANES 2009-2014.

Background: Red blood cell (RBC) folate is an indicator of long-term folate nutrition. Whether there is an association between RBC folate and periodontitis is unclear. This study aimed to use the NHANES database to determine whether RBC folate is associated with moderate/severe periodontitis.

Hepatitis B infection is associated with periodontitis: the national health and nutrition examination survey (2009-2014).

Background: Current research has been inconclusive regarding whether hepatitis B infection is associated with an increased risk of periodontitis. This study aims to test the null hypothesis that no association exists between hepatitis B infection and an increased risk of periodontitis using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2009-2014).

Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database (2009-2014) to assess the rate of the prevalence of periodontitis in patients with and without hepatitis B infection.

Fracture resistance of CAD/CAM endocrowns made from different materials in maxillary premolar interproximal defects.

Objectives: This in vitro study aims to compare the fracture resistance of three CAD/CAM materials used in endocrown restoration of interproximal defects in maxillary premolars.

Materials And Methods: 45 maxillary premolars extracted as part of orthodontic treatment were included. Following standardized root canal treatment, all teeth were prepared into Mesial-Occlusal (MO) cavity types.

Association between life's essential 8 and periodontitis: a population-based study.

Background: The American Heart Association has developed a novel cardiovascular health indicator called Life's Essential 8 (LE8). However, no one has reported using LE8 to assess periodontitis. This study aimed to investigate the association between LE8 and periodontitis in American adults.

Association between periodontitis and breast cancer: two-sample Mendelian randomization study.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there is a causal relationship between periodontitis and breast cancer by Mendelian randomization analysis.

Materials And Methods: We performed a two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using publicly released genome-wide association studies (GWAS) statistics. The inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method was used as the primary analysis.

Reverse causal relationship between periodontitis and shortened telomere length: Bidirectional two-sample Mendelian random analysis.

Background: Observational studies have demonstrated a link between shortened telomere lengths(TL) and chronic periodontitis. However, whether the shortened TL is the cause or the result of periodontitis is unknown.Therefore, our objective was to investigate a bidirectional causal relationship between periodontitis and TL using a two-sample Mendel randomized (MR) study.

Association between skull bone mineral density and periodontitis: Using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2011-2014).

Background And Objective: Bone mineral density (BMD) and periodontitis have been the subject of many studies. However, the relationship between skull (including mandible) BMD and periodontitis has not been extensively studied. An objective of this cross-sectional study was to examine the relationship between skull BMD and periodontitis using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) for 2011-2012 and 2013-2014.

Plasma elaidic acid level is associated with periodontal health in American adults: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Whether there is an association between TFAs and periodontitis is unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between moderate/severe periodontitis and plasma level of elaidic acid, a major trans-fatty acid component, in American adults.

Methods: The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) years 2009-2010 were used to screen a total of 1,610 people.
