Overview

Cross-sectional analysis highlights how obesity indicators impact periodontal health, suggesting new interventions.

Key Points

  • Elevated body mass index and waist circumference are significantly linked to increased periodontitis severity.
  • In univariate analysis, overweight and obesity are associated with periodontitis, with odds ratios of 2.28 and 6.46, respectively.
  • Multivariate analysis supports the association of obesity with periodontitis, indicating weight management could optimize periodontal health.
  • The findings underscore the need for considering both metabolic and sociodemographic factors in periodontal risk assessment.
