- Periodontal inflamed surface area, diabetes mellitus and blood pressure : analyses from two representative cross-sectional studiesPublication . Tormenta, Francisco Xavier Gomes; Mendes, José JoãoAim: To deploy secondary analyses using the Study of Periodontal Health in Almada-Seixal (SOPHIAS) datasets to explore whether periodontitis, diabetes mellitus and hypertension present association results in a representative sample. Material & Methods: It was not possible to use the data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey as initially purposed. The SOPHIAS had a target population of subjects over 18 years of age (adults and elderly), living in the municipalities of Almada and Seixal, in Portugal (Botelho, Machado et al., 2019). For the purpose of this study, the following inclusion criteria were defined: participants with 18 years old or older, undergone periodontal examination and measurement of blood pressure. Regarding diabetes the SOPHIAS gathered information through self-reported diabetes. Data was analysed by means of descriptive and inferential methodologies, using IBM SPSS Statistics v.25 software. Results: Patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus (DM) had a mean periodontal inflamed surface area (PISA) of 1118.3 (±2723.0) mm2; patients with hypertension and no DM had a mean PISA of 826.2 (±1758.0) mm2; patients with no hypertension and DM had a mean PISA of 1318.6 (±2099.0) mm2; and patients without hypertension or DM had a mean PISA of 867.2(±1627.0) mm2. However, none of the values were statistically significant. According to the generalized linear adjusted models on the association of PISA with DM, hypertension, blood pressure readings, age, body mass index (BMI), education, and smoking status, DM, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were associated to higher PISA, while age links to lower levels. The results of the association between smoking status, education, and BMI were not statistically significant. Conclusion: Diabetes mellitus and high blood pressure were associated to periodontitis and higher periodontal inflamed surface area. Age was a significant variable in these associations.
