摘要
Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) correlates with systemic inflammation. A relation of MetS to periodontitis has been reported. This study aims to evaluate whether periodontitis is associated with untreated MetS, plasma adiponectin, and leptin among Thai people. %26lt;br%26gt;Methods: One hundred twenty-five participants (aged 35 to 76 years) were recruited. Demographic and biologic data, bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD), and clinical attachment level (CAL) of all teeth were examined. Plasma adiponectin and leptin levels were measured. %26lt;br%26gt;Results: Forty-four participants (35.2%) were healthy, and 81 (64.8%) had MetS. All periodontal conditions (BOP, PD, and CAL) were significantly worse in patients with MetS than healthy participants. After adjustment for confounders, MetS was strongly associated with severe periodontitis (odds ratio [OR] = 3.60, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.34 to 9.65). MetS with four to five components had a higher association with periodontitis than did MetS with three components (OR = 5.49, 95% CI: 1.75 to 17.19), whereas each separate component had no association with periodontitis, except for high diastolic blood pressure. Periodontitis was also associated with age (OR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.01 to 1.14) and education (OR = 3.76, 95% CI: 1.05 to 13.40). The risk of MetS was predicted by body mass index and plasma adiponectin (OR = 1.90, 95% CI: 1.24 to 2.92 and OR = 0.93, 95% CI: 0.88 to 0.98, respectively). %26lt;br%26gt;Conclusions: There may be a relationship between untreated MetS and periodontitis in Thai people. Periodontal diagnosis should be regularly conducted in patients with MetS.
