Relationship between Periodontal Disease and Asthma among Overweight/Obese Adults
Open accessAbstract
Aim: To assess the relationship between oral health and asthma. Methods: Data from 1315 overweight or obese individuals, aged 40–65 years were used. Asthma was self‐reported, whereas periodontitis, bleeding on probing ( BOP ) and plaque index were determined by clinical examinations. Results: Using logistic regression adjusting for gender, smoking status, age, body mass index, family history of asthma and income level, revealed that the odds ratio ( OR ) of asthma for a participant with severe periodontitis was 0.44 (95% confidence interval: 0.27, 0.70) that of a participant with none/mild periodontitis. On the other hand, proportion of BOP sites and plaque index were not statistically significant. For a participant with severe periodontitis, the OR of taking asthma medication was 0.20 (95% confidence interval: 0.09, 0.43) that of a participant with none/mild periodontitis. Moreover, proportion of BOP sites was statistically associated with use of asthma medication, whereas plaque index still remained non‐significant. Conclusion: Participants with severe periodontitis were less likely to have asthma. Stronger evidence of an inverse association was found when using asthma medication as outcome.

Anti-asthmatic medications cause alterations to salivary secretion, negatively influencing periodontal health.
“and it has been reported that anti-asthmatic medications cause alterations to salivary secretion, negatively influencing periodontal health [96,97,98,99].”
From Drugs Prescribed for Asthma and Their Adverse Effects on Dental Health (2023) · cites this paper as [98]
The Introduction and Discussion report that frequent use of inhalational drugs has been proposed as a possible contributor to an association between asthma severity and periodontal disease. They do not say that anti-asthmatic medications alter salivary secretion or establish that medications cause poorer periodontal health; the paper's own Results instead report an inverse association between medication use and periodontitis severity. No page numbers are available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.83)

“Therefore, a decrease in the salivary flow directly affects periodontal tissues”
From Drugs Prescribed for Asthma and Their Adverse Effects on Dental Health (2023) · cites this paper as [98]
The Methods describe periodontal measurements, and the Discussion considers associations between asthma and periodontal disease, but neither says that reduced salivary flow directly affects periodontal tissues. A References entry names a study of salivary flow in asthmatic patients; its title does not establish the claimed effect. Searches for salivary flow, saliva, and dry mouth found no supporting passage in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.75)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
