AI Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed data from over 17,000 adults in South Korea to explore how exposure to air pollutants affects periodontal health during 2012-2015.
- Researchers categorized participants' periodontal health using community periodontal index (CPI) scores and applied logistic regression to assess the relationship between pollutant levels and oral health at different time frames.
- Findings indicated that PM and SO exposures are linked to poorer periodontal health, especially in the short to medium term, while NO exposure showed an opposite relationship, indicating better periodontal health.
Article Abstract
We investigated the association between ambient air pollutant exposure and periodontal health using data from 17,271 adults in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2012-2015). Participants' periodontal status was categorized based on their community periodontal index (CPI) scores. Using multiple logistic regression models, we examined the relationship between air pollutant levels and poor periodontal status at various lag periods. After adjusting for potential confounders, PM exposure was associated with a poor periodontal status (short-term: 0-1 and 0-2 lag days; medium-term: 0-1 and 0-2 lag months). SO exposure showed similar associations (short-term, 0-2 to 0-7 lag days; medium-term, 0-4 to 0-6 lag months). Only increased medium-term O exposure (0-2 to 0-6 lag months) was associated with a poor periodontal status. NO exposure was inversely associated with poor periodontal status for both short- and medium-term durations.
