Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the relationship between the cardiometabolic index (CMI) and periodontitis, using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2009-2014) to analyze potential associations and impacts of various obesity indices on gum disease.
- - Findings show that higher CMI, along with other obesity metrics like TG/HDL-C and WHtR, correlates positively with an increased prevalence of periodontitis—specifically a 17.8% rise in overall and an 18.7% rise in moderate/severe cases for each unit increase in CMI.
- - The research concludes that CMI is a useful predictor for periodontitis, demonstrating a greater area under the ROC curve
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: 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.
