Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to examine the connection between serum uric acid levels (sUA) and moderate/severe periodontitis in US adults, utilizing data from 3,398 participants in the NHANES survey from 2009 to 2014.
- - Results indicated that higher sUA levels were significantly linked to increased instances of moderate/severe periodontitis, with specific variations noted according to race/ethnicity and gender; particularly showing a U-shaped relationship in women and non-Hispanic blacks.
- - The findings suggest that sUA levels could play a role in the development of periodontitis, highlighting the importance of considering demographic factors in such associations.
