摘要
目的牙周炎被假设为认知能力下降的一个可改变的危险因素,但基于人群的证据仍然有限。这项研究调查了美国60岁以上老年人牙周炎和认知障碍之间的关系。方法采用2011-2014年全国健康与营养检查调查(NHANES)为基础进行横断面研究。确定牙周炎病例并将其分类为无/轻度或中度/重度。认知功能通过三个问卷调查进行评估:阿尔茨海默病单词学习子测试(CERAD-WL)、动物流畅性测试(AFT)和数字符号替代测试(DSST)。得分低于最低四分位数表明认知障碍。采用二元logistic回归方法探讨60岁以上老年人牙周炎状况与认知功能障碍的关系。结果52.6%(2514例)的患者有中、重度牙周炎。在CERAD-WL和DSST中,中度/重度牙周炎组的中位评分均高于无/轻度牙周炎组(P = 0.046,P = 0.010)。Logistic回归模型显示,未调整模型中重度牙周炎组DSST的比值比为1.605 (95% CI: 1.407 ~ 1.898, P = 0.013),模型2混杂人口统计学变量的比值比为1.288 (95% CI:1.022 ~ 1.624, P = 0.032),模型3混杂所有协变量的比值比为1.290 (95% CI: 1.021 ~ 1.630, P = 0.033)。此外,中度/重度牙周炎与性别、贫困收入比(PIR)和牙科就诊频率等因素显著相关。结论:本研究在具有全国代表性的美国60岁及以上老年人中揭示了牙周炎与认知障碍之间的显著关联。
Association between periodontitis and cognitive impairment in older adults: A cross-sectional study of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
Objectives
Periodontitis has been hypothesized as a modifiable risk factor for cognitive decline, yet population-based evidence remains limited. This study examined the relationship between periodontitis and cognitive impairment among the US seniors over 60.
Methods
This is a cross-sectional study based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011–2014. Periodontitis cases were identified and categorized as either none/mild or moderate/severe. Cognitive function was assessed using three questionnaire survey: the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease Word Learning subtest (CERAD-WL), the Animal Fluency Test (AFT), and the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST). Scores below the lowest quartile indicated cognitive impairment. A binary logistic regression was conducted to explore the relationship between periodontitis status and cognitive impairment in individuals over 60 years old.
Results
The findings indicated that 52.6 % of the sample (n = 2514) had moderate/severe periodontitis. In both CERAD-WL and DSST, the median score in the moderate/severe periodontitis cohort was high than that in the no/mild periodontitis cohort (P = .046,P = .010,respectively). Logistic regression model revealed an odds ratio of 1.605 (95 %CI: 1.407–1.898, P = .013) in DSST for the moderate/severe periodontitis group in unadjusted model, 1.288 (95 % CI:1.022–1.624, P = .032) in model 2 confounding demographic variables, and 1.290 (95 %CI: 1.021–1.630, P = .033) in model 3 confounding all covariants. Furthermore, the moderate/severe periodontitis is significantly associated with several factors: gender, the poverty income ratio(PIR) and dental visit frequency.
Conclusion
This study reveals a significant association between periodontitis and cognitive impairment among US seniors aged 60 and above in a nationally representative sample.
