ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Various data have been obtained on the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and C-reactive protein (CRP) and periodontitis. The aim of this study was to determine whether CRP/BMI are associated with periodontitis using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database.METHODS:
A cross-sectional analysis of data from 3602 participants in the 2009-2010 NHANES cycle was performed. The definition of periodontitis was used to divide participants into four groups according to the criteria of Eke. Correlations between CRP/BMI and periodontitis were tested for statistical significance by means of descriptive statistics, multivariate regression, and subgroup-stratified analyses, with and without adjustments for confounders (such as age and sex).RESULTS:
There were no statistically significant differences (p > 0.05) regarding BMI and the development of periodontitis. After adjustment for age, sex, race, marital status, annual family income, alcohol consumption, hypertension, smoking, chronic pulmonary disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, flossing, and arthritis, CRP correlated significantly with the development of periodontitis in the subgroups stratified by obesity, with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.2 (95% CI, 1.0 to 1.5).CONCLUSION:
Through data analysis, we found an association between CRP levels and periodontitis prevalence in the American population, although this association was only present in the obese population. While there are several hypotheses about the underlying mechanism, further studies are needed to validate these findings.Palavras-chave
