背景和目的：肥胖已被认为是几种慢性健康状况的危险因素。最近的研究报告了肥胖和牙周炎之间的关系，但很少有研究调查青少年的这种关系。本研究的目的是调查日本大学生身体成分(身体质量指数和体脂)与牙周炎的关系。材料和方法：由冈山大学健康与环境中心进行的横断面检查收集了医学和口腔健康数据。有兴趣接受口腔健康检查的18-24岁学生(n=618)被纳入分析范围。采用社区牙周指数评价牙周状况。以社区牙周指数评分为0~2的受试者为对照组，社区牙周指数评分为>；2的受试者为牙周炎。结果：所有受试者的体重指数均为30 kg/m(2)。年龄、体重指数与社区牙周指数显著相关。Logistic回归分析显示，体重指数每增加1 kg/m(2)，患牙周炎的风险增加16%(调整后的优势比为1.16；95%可信区间为1.03-1.31；p<；0.05)。结论：体重指数可能是健康年轻个体(即体重指数<30 kg/m(2)者)患牙周炎的潜在危险因素。在大学一般和口腔健康检查中定期评估体重指数可能是有用的。
Background and Objective: Obesity has been implicated as a risk factor for several chronic health conditions. Recent studies have reported a relationship between obesity and periodontitis, but few studies have investigated this relationship in adolescents. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between body composition (i.e. body mass index and body fat) and periodontitis in university students in Japan.Material and methods: Medical and oral health data were collected in a cross-sectional examination conducted by the Health and Environment Center of Okayama University. Students aged 18-24 years (n = 618), who were interested in receiving an oral health examination, were included in the analysis. The community periodontal index was used to assess periodontal status. Subjects with a community periodontal index score of 0-2 were considered as controls and those with a community periodontal index score of > 2 were considered to have periodontitis. Logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the association between body mass index and periodontitis.Results: The body mass index of all subjects was < 30 kg/m(2). Age and body mass index were significantly associated with the community periodontal index. Logistic regression analysis revealed a 16% increased risk for periodontitis per 1-kg/m(2) increase in body mass index (adjusted odds ratio, 1.16; 95% confidence interval, 1.03-1.31; p < 0.05).Conclusion: Body mass index could be a potential risk factor for periodontitis among healthy young individuals (i.e. those with a body mass index of < 30 kg/m(2)). It may be useful to include an evaluation of body mass index on a regular basis in university general and oral health examinations.
