gingivitis/비만증

OBJECTIVE This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the relationship between weight status and gingival inflammation in Brazilian schoolchildren aged 8- to 12-year old, when controlling for potential confounders. METHODS Overall, 1211 children aged 8- to 12-year old from public and private schools

BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the levels of resistin and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and saliva of obese children with gingivitis. METHODS One-hundred and thirty children (65 obese and 65 normal weight; age range 8 to 12 years) were recruited for

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between cytokines IL-6 and IL-10 in saliva, obesity and periodontal disease. METHODS The study was carried out in 40 subjects: 20 obese subjects with gingivitis and 20 non-obese subjects with gingivitis (controls). Periodontal parameters such as gingival index

OBJECTIVE To determine the association between dental hygiene, gingivitis and overweight or the risk of overweight according to body mass index (BMI). METHODS A cross-sectional study was performed with 1527 preschoolers. The children were divided into 4 groups: (i) absence of visible plaque and

OBJECTIVE The association between obesity and periodontitis has been extensively investigated in adults but not in young people. Our aim is to evaluate whether overweight/obese paediatric patients have a greater chance of being affected by gingivitis than those of normal weight. METHODS Ninety-eight

OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlation between the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) levels of IL-6 and TNF-alpha with the levels in serum in obese patients. METHODS Twenty-six obese adults (BMI > or = 30, age 33-74) provided serum and GCF samples. Smokers and uncontrolled diabetics (HbA1c > 8%)

BACKGROUND Obesity represents the systemic condition capable of influencing the onset and progression of periodontal disease. Obesity is associated with oxidative stress. Plasma level of reactive oxidative metabolites (ROMs) is measured as an indicator of oxidative stress in the body. The aim of

This cross-sectional study investigated the impact of pregestational overweight and obesity on periodontal status of patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Sixty pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) were recruited for the study. According to the pregestational body

It has been shown that inadequate sleep has deleterious effects on health by suppressing immunity and promoting inflammation. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of sleep and salivary glucose levels on the development of gingivitis in a prospective longitudinal study of Kuwaiti
