Abstract

Abstract Objective To investigate whether there was an association between chronic periodontitis (CP) and reduced respiratory function. Methods A group of dentate 58‐ to 72‐year‐old men in Northern Ireland had a comprehensive periodontal examination. Parallel to the periodontal examination, participants completed questionnaires gathering information on their medical history, social circumstances, demographic background and tobacco use. A physical examination assessed anthropometric measures. Fasting blood samples were obtained and analysed for high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein (hs‐CRP). Spirometry measures were performed using a wedge bellows spirometer (Vitalograph S Model). The primary outcome variable of interest was the percentage predicted forced expiratory volume in one‐second (% predictedFEV1). Analysis included multiple linear regression with adjustment for various confounders and a regression‐based mediation analysis. Results A total of 1,380 men were included in the analysis. The mean age was 63.7 years (SD3.0). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that a doubling in mean clinical attachment loss (CAL) equated to a −3.33% (95%CI: −4.80, −1.86),p < 0.001 change in % predictedFEV1after adjustment for all other potential confounding variables. Systemic inflammation, as measured by hs‐CRP, only accounted for a minor mediating pathway effect (9%). Conclusions In this homogenous group of dentate men, CP was significantly associated with a reduced respiratory function.

  • Poor oral hygiene habits can lead to the accumulation of many periodontal microorganisms in the oral cavity, and oral dysbiosis can accelerate lung function decline, which in turn can increase the incidence of pneumonia.

    “Poor oral hygiene habits can lead to the accumulation of many periodontal microorganisms in the oral cavity, and oral dysbiosis can accelerate lung function decline (Takeuchi et al., 2018; Winning et al., 2019), which in turn can increase the incidence of pneumonia (Kumar, 2017).”

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.
