Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between physical activity levels and periodontal health status among college students in Shanghai, with the goal of informing oral health policy recommendations.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2023 to March 2024 involving 120 university students aged 18-29. Data was collected using the World Health Organization (WHO) oral health survey methods. Periodontal status was assessed using the Community Periodontal Index (CPI), and physical activity was measured with a simplified version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Data analysis was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 27.0 (IBM, USA), employing chi-square tests and multivariable logistic regression.

Results: Among the participants (77 males, 43 females), 70% met physical activity guidelines. Adjusting for gender, age, tooth brushing frequency, and dental floss use, insufficient physical activity was associated with higher odds of periodontitis (adjusted model: OR = 5.293, 95% CI = 1.334 to 20.993, p = 0.018). High-intensity physical activity significantly reduced the incidence of periodontitis (p = 0.006), while sedentary behavior showed no significant correlation (p = 0.176).

Conclusion: Promoting physical activity among college students may enhance periodontal health, underscoring the need to integrate oral and public health initiatives.

大学生体育活动水平与牙周健康状况的关系：一项横断面研究

目的：了解上海地区大学生身体活动水平与牙周健康状况的关系，为口腔健康政策建议提供依据。方法：于2023年3月至2024年3月对120名18-29岁的大学生进行横断面研究。采用世界卫生组织（WHO）口腔健康调查方法收集数据。使用社区牙周指数（CPI）评估牙周状况，使用简化版的国际身体活动问卷（IPAQ）测量身体活动。采用SPSS 27.0版（IBM，美国）进行数据分析，采用卡方检验和多变量logistic回归。结果：在参与者中（男性77人，女性43人），70%的人符合体育锻炼指南。调整性别、年龄、刷牙频率和牙线使用后，运动不足与患牙周炎的几率较高相关（调整模型：OR = 5.293, 95% CI = 1.334 ~ 20.993, p = 0.018）。高强度体力活动显著降低牙周炎的发病率（p = 0.006），而久坐行为无显著相关性（p = 0.176）。结论：在大学生中提倡体育活动可以促进牙周健康，强调了将口腔卫生和公共卫生倡议结合起来的必要性。
