Periodontitis Is Associated With Serum Prostate Specific Antigen Concentrations in C hinese Male

Key Points

• This research aims to explore the association between periodontitis and serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) concentrations in Chinese men.
• Analyzed serum PSA levels in a sample of Chinese men aged 20-80 years
• Compared levels between patients with severe periodontitis and those without
• Focused on elder patients to assess the strength of the association
• Serum PSA levels were significantly higher in patients with severe periodontitis compared to non-periodontitis patients
• The association between severe periodontitis and elevated PSA levels was notably stronger among older patients
