Abstract
Background: Studies have reported varying relationships between periodontitis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This review aimed to summarise evidence by pooling published data on the association between periodontitis and NAFLD.
Methods: PubMed, CENTRAL, Web of Science, and Embase databases were searched for cross-sectional, case-control, or cohort studies published up to 20th June 2022. The PICO statement was: In the general Population does the presence of periodontitis (Intervention) as compared to no periodontitis (Comparison) lead to NAFLD (Outcome). All included studies were to report the association between periodontitis and NAFLD using odds ratios (OR) or risk ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Random effects meta-analysis was conducted to obtain pooled OR with 95% CI.
Results: Meta-analysis of seven studies with data of 192,815 participants found no association between periodontitis and NAFLD (OR: 1.04 95% CI: 0.97, 1.12). There was medium heterogeneity in the meta-analysis (I²=58%). The results did not change with the exclusion of any study. A small risk of NAFLD was noted in periodontitis patients on analysis of two cohort studies. Results were non-significant for other study types. Subgroup analysis based on the study population and diagnostic method for NAFLD also failed to find relationships.
Conclusion: Current evidence fails to demonstrate a link between periodontitis and NAFLD.
期刊介绍:
The journal is concerned with dental public health and related subjects. Dental public health is the science and the art of preventing oral disease, promoting oral health, and improving the quality of life through the organised efforts of society.
The discipline covers a wide range and includes such topics as:
-oral epidemiology-
oral health services research-
preventive dentistry - especially in relation to communities-
oral health education and promotion-
clinical research - with particular emphasis on the care of special groups-
behavioural sciences related to dentistry-
decision theory-
quality of life-
risk analysis-
ethics and oral health economics-
quality assessment.
The journal publishes scientific articles on the relevant fields, review articles, discussion papers, news items, and editorials. It is of interest to dentists working in dental public health and to other professionals concerned with disease prevention, health service planning, and health promotion throughout the world. In the case of epidemiology of oral diseases the Journal prioritises national studies unless local studies have major methodological innovations or information of particular interest.
