The presence of periodontal disease widened the gap even farther, up to 7 mmHg, among people with untreated hypertension, the study found.
The high prevalence of both obesity and periodontal disease (PD) poses a substantial public health risk.19
(7) Obesity, weight gain, and increased waist circumference may contribute to the development of periodontal disease. (1,4)
To standardize measurements across NHANES cycles, we first created variables to indicate the extent of periodontal disease. These were the extent of P [greater than or equal to] 4 mm, the extent of AL [greater than or equal to] 3 mm, and the extent of BP, each calculated as the ratio of sites showing the periodontal characteristic to the total number of sites probed.
This latter study also found a link between periodontal disease and greater overall risk of cancer--even in those who've never smoked.
The global periodontal disease therapeutics market segmentation is based on drug types (Arestin, Atridox, Doxycycline, Metronidazole, Minocycline, PerioChip).
Entamoeba gingivalis, found only in the dental biofilm and saliva of patients with periodontal disease, corroborates the hypothesis that this protozoan might be involved in the development of periodontal disease, as has been suggested by other studies.
What to do: This study suggests, but doesn't prove, that sugars cause periodontal disease. But there are plenty of other reasons to eat (and drink) less sugar.
