Abstract
AimTo investigate the associations between periodontal inflammation—as determined by the periodontal inflamed surface area (PISA)—and serum inflammatory markers in community‐dwelling older adults in Japan.Materials and MethodsThis cross‐sectional study included 470 adults (mean age: 73.1 years). The composite inflammatory marker z‐score (CIMZ) was calculated as the sum of the participants' individual z‐scores for C‐reactive protein (CRP), interleukin‐1beta (IL‐1β), IL‐6 and tumour necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α). The associations of PISA (quartiles) with individual biomarkers (continuous, log‐transformed) and CIMZ (dichotomized, highest quartile or not) were assessed using linear or Poisson regression models.ResultsCompared with participants in the lowest PISA quartile (Q1), those in Q3 and Q4 had significantly (p < 0.05) higher CRP and IL‐6 levels. Statistically significant linear trends (ptrend < 0.05) across the PISA quartiles were observed for CRP and IL‐6. The multivariable adjusted prevalence ratios (95% confidence intervals) of high CIMZ (reference: Q1) were 1.20 (0.68–2.14), 1.66 (0.96–2.88) and 1.90 (1.08–3.34) (ptrend = 0.01) in individuals in PISA Q2–Q4.ConclusionsOlder adults with high periodontal inflammation had high serum CRP and IL‐6 concentrations and composite summary inflammatory indicator values. Periodontal inflammation is a potential modifiable factor of elevated inflammatory status among older adults in Japan.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Clinical Periodontology was founded by the British, Dutch, French, German, Scandinavian, and Swiss Societies of Periodontology.
The aim of the Journal of Clinical Periodontology is to provide the platform for exchange of scientific and clinical progress in the field of Periodontology and allied disciplines, and to do so at the highest possible level. The Journal also aims to facilitate the application of new scientific knowledge to the daily practice of the concerned disciplines and addresses both practicing clinicians and academics. The Journal is the official publication of the European Federation of Periodontology but wishes to retain its international scope.
The Journal publishes original contributions of high scientific merit in the fields of periodontology and implant dentistry. Its scope encompasses the physiology and pathology of the periodontium, the tissue integration of dental implants, the biology and the modulation of periodontal and alveolar bone healing and regeneration, diagnosis, epidemiology, prevention and therapy of periodontal disease, the clinical aspects of tooth replacement with dental implants, and the comprehensive rehabilitation of the periodontal patient. Review articles by experts on new developments in basic and applied periodontal science and associated dental disciplines, advances in periodontal or implant techniques and procedures, and case reports which illustrate important new information are also welcome.
