Total tooth loss and systemic correlates of inflammation: role of obesity.
Obesity (Silver Spring)
March 2012
Obesity and edentulism are both associated with multiple systemic disorders with an inflammatory background including periodontal diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the different impact of obesity on inflammation in dentate and toothless subjects. The data came from the population-based, cross-sectional study SHIP (Study of Health in Pomerania).

- Stroke is a significant cause of disability and death, impacting immune responses by causing a loss of peripheral blood T-cells and leading to infections.
- Researchers analyzed T cells from 93 stroke patients to understand their activation and functionality compared to healthy individuals.
- Findings indicated that stroke patients exhibited heightened activation markers on T cells, with increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines and evidence suggesting catecholamines may inhibit certain T cell regulation mechanisms.
Aim: The aim of this study was to determine whether both type 1 (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are associated with increased prevalence and extent of periodontal disease and tooth loss compared with non-diabetic subjects within a homogeneous adult study population.
Material And Methods: T1DM, T2DM and non-diabetic subjects were recruited from the population-based Study of Health in Pomerania. Additionally, T1DM subjects were retrieved from a Diabetes Centre.
