WOMEN'S ORAL HEALTH

妇女健康已成为美国国立卫生研究院研究的主要优先事项。分支机构 工作人员与其他NIH科学家一起参与了临床研究 妇女健康试验和社区示范研究议程。 广泛的文献综述已经被用来评估这种相互作用 口腔健康与全身健康的关系，并确定口腔健康如何适应 在这些更大的研究倡议的背景下。项目有 是通过这些努力开发的，现在有了独立的项目 描述：(1)评价口服生物标记物在系统性疾病中的应用 用唾液作为生化基质的疾病和状况 参加妇女健康试验的妇女脂肪摄入量的有效性 少数人可行性研究；(2)口腔硬组织调查 与骨骼骨密度测量和骨密度测量有关的状况 参加观察的女性中的一部分患有骨质疏松症 指定骨密度的妇女健康倡议的组成部分 (3)妇女HIV感染的口腔表现。

Women's health has become a major priority for research at NIH. Branch staff have participated with other NIH scientists in developing clinical trial and community demonstration research agendas for women's health. Extensive literature reviews have been conducted to assess the interaction of oral health with systemic health and to determine how oral health fits within the contexts of these larger research initiatives. Projects have been developed from these efforts and now have independent project descriptions: (1) evaluating the utility of oral biomarkers for systemic diseases and conditions using saliva as a matrix for the biochemical validation of fat intake among women enrolled in the Women's Health Trial Minority Feasibility Study; (2) an investigation of oral hard tissue status in relation to skeletal bone mineral density measures and osteoporosis on a subsample of women enrolled in the observational component of the Women's Health Initiative at a designated bone density center; and (3) the oral manifestations of HIV infection in women.
