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.

- Edentulism, a common oral health issue mainly affecting the elderly, is linked to various diseases, with its connection to physical activity still unclear.
- An analysis using data from the CHARLS study with 6,480 participants showed that physically active individuals had a 24% lower risk of edentulism compared to those who were inactive, particularly at moderate activity levels of 1,800-3,000 MET-minutes/week.
- The research concluded a U-shaped relationship between physical activity volume and edentulism, indicating both insufficient and excessive physical activity could lead to higher risks, with moderate levels offering the most protection.
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.
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.

A total of 1,291 children aged 3-5 years in Guizhou Province were selected by a multistage stratified and whole group random sampling to examine the caries prevalence in whole-mouth deciduous teeth crowns, and parents were surveyed with questionnaires to analyze the caries-related factors. IBM SPSS Statistics v 23.

As an important water source in Shandong Province, Lake Dongping is one of the most important inland lakes to South-to-North Water Diversion East Route Project. We tried to provide the basis for real-time monitoring of water quality mutation by using CDOM absorption characteristics. The average values of CDOM absorption coefficients [a(280)，a(350)，a(440)] were (12.

Results: Therefore, a cDNA encoding Eriocheir sinensis FABP (Es-FABP) was cloned based upon EST analysis of a hepatopancreas cDNA library. The full length cDNA was 750 bp and encoded a 131 aa polypeptide that was highly homologous to related genes reported in shrimp.
