Abstract

Objective: Menopause is a time of declining reproductive function in women, and hormonal changes can affect oral health and chronic diseases such as periodontitis. The oxidative balance score (OBS) indicates oxidative balance using diet and lifestyle habits. This is the first study to investigate the relationship between the OBS and periodontitis in postmenopausal women.

Method: The study included 16,489 participants from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). Modified Poisson regression was used to examine the effect of the OBS on periodontitis in postmenopausal women, adjusting for confounders.

Results: The OBS was 17.66 ± 0.13 in the presence of periodontitis and 18.42 ± 0.10 in the absence of periodontitis. In the fully adjusted model, higher OBS quartiles were associated with a lower prevalence of periodontitis (Q2, prevalence ratio [PR] = 0.899; Q3, PR = 0.941; Q4, PR = 0.800). When divided into components, lifestyle OBS showed a significant inverse association with periodontitis (PR = 0.786, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.638-0.970), whereas dietary OBS did not (PR = 0.952, 95% CI: 0.804-1.127).

Conclusion: In postmenopausal women, an increase in the OBS due to a healthy diet and lifestyle is associated with periodontal health. A low OBS may be considered a potential risk indicator for periodontitis.

氧化平衡评分与绝经后妇女牙周炎：一项全国性研究。

目的：绝经期是女性生殖功能下降的时期，激素变化可影响口腔健康和牙周炎等慢性疾病。氧化平衡评分（OBS）反映了饮食和生活习惯的氧化平衡。这是第一个调查绝经后妇女牙周炎与牙周炎之间关系的研究。方法：本研究纳入韩国国家健康与营养检查调查（KNHANES）的16489名参与者。修正泊松回归用于检查OBS对绝经后妇女牙周炎的影响，调整混杂因素。结果：有牙周炎组的OBS为17.66±0.13，无牙周炎组的OBS为18.42±0.10。在完全调整模型中，较高的OBS四分位数与较低的牙周炎患病率相关（Q2，患病率比[PR] = 0.899; Q3, PR = 0.941; Q4, PR = 0.800）。当按成分划分时，生活方式的牙周炎与牙周炎呈显著负相关（PR = 0.786, 95%可信区间[CI]: 0.638-0.970），而饮食的牙周炎与牙周炎无显著负相关（PR = 0.952, 95% CI: 0.804-1.127）。结论：在绝经后妇女中，由于健康的饮食和生活方式，OBS的增加与牙周健康有关。低OBS可能被认为是牙周炎的潜在危险指标。

期刊介绍： Climacteric is the official journal of the International Menopause Society (IMS). As an international peer-reviewed journal it publishes original research and reviews of all aspects of aging in women. Climacteric was founded by the IMS in 1998 and today has become a leading journal in the publication of peer-reviewed papers on the menopause, climacteric and mid-life health. Topics covered include endocrine changes, symptoms attributed to the menopause and their treatment, hormone replacement and alternative therapies, lifestyles, and the counselling and education of peri- and postmenopausal women. Climacteric, published bimonthly, also features regular invited reviews, editorials and commentaries on recent developments. The editorial review board of Climacteric includes leading scientific and clinical experts in the field of midlife medicine and research and is headed by its Editor-in-Chief, Professor Rod Baber of Australia. He and his team of Associate Editors act independently to set a clear editorial policy, co-ordinate peer review, and ensure a rapid response to submitted papers.
