This study aims to evaluate the association between periodontal disease and stroke risk.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>The study was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. We comprehensively searched PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library from inception to December 2024 to identify relevant studies. Quality assessment was conducted using both the original and modified versions of the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale as appropriate. Data such as sample size, region, age, and gender of participants were extracted. Odds ratios (OR) were pooled using a random-effects model, and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated.

The findings indicate that individuals with periodontal disease have a significantly higher risk of stroke compared to the healthy population (OR: 1.724, 95% CI: 1.481-2.008). This conclusion holds across different regions, genders, and age groups. Periodontitis patients exhibited a higher risk of stroke compared to those with gingivitis (OR: 2.008 vs 1.673), and the risk of ischemic stroke was higher in individuals with periodontal disease than the risk of hemorrhagic stroke (OR: 1.846 vs 1.476). Sensitivity analysis, cumulative meta-analysis, and publication bias detection further confirm that the conclusion remains stable (Egger’s tests, <em>P</em> = .280 and Begg’s tests <em>P</em> = .703), even after imputing missing studies using the trim-and-fill method. Meta-regression analysis suggested that age may contribute to the heterogeneity observed in the studies.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Periodontal disease has been identified as an independent risk factor for stroke.
