摘要

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using oral and systemic health checkup data of 151 middle-aged men. The serum levels of adiponectin and its subfractions were also analysed. Results: The ratio of high molecular weight adiponectin to total adiponectin was significantly lower in subjects with periodontal pockets. Moreover, this ratio independently associated with periodontal condition. Conclusions: The ratio of HMW adiponectin to total adiponectin could be a novel biomarker for evaluation of periodontal health in middle-aged men.
