doi: 10.1111/j.1741‐2358.2011.00481.xThe association between renal function and tooth loss in Japanese community‐dwelling postmenopausal womenObjectives:This study examined whether low renal function is associated with the number of remaining teeth among community‐dwelling elderly Japanese.Background data:Many elderly individuals display both low renal function and tooth loss.Materials and Methods:Subjects comprised 405 randomly selected women (55–74 years old). Serum cystatin C level was used to assess renal dysfunction. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between number of remaining teeth and serum cystatin C level, with number of remaining teeth as the dependent variable. Six variables were selected as independent variables in the final model: serum cystatin C; age; mean clinical attachment level; serum cross‐linked N‐telopeptide of type I collagen level; body mass index and smoking habits.Results:Multiple linear regression analysis revealed a significant relationship between number of remaining teeth and serum cystatin C level. The beta value for serum cystatin C level for the number of remaining teeth was −0.11 (p=0.018).Conclusion:This study indicates a relationship between serum cystatin C level and number of remaining teeth, suggesting that low renal function could be associated with tooth loss.
