OBJECTIVES: Physical activity has been shown to have a protective relationship
with several chronic diseases. Recently, physical activity was also found to
reduce the risk of periodontitis in a study in male health professionals.
However, the relationship between physical activity and periodontitis in a
diverse group of individuals is not thoroughly examined. The purpose of this
study was to examine if there is an association between sustained physical
activity and periodontitis in a subset of the third national health and nutrition
examination survey (NHANES III). METHODS: NHANES III participants 18 years of age
or older who had had a periodontal examination and reported to have a similar
physical activity (or inactivity) level for 10 years or longer were selected
(n=2521). Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the
association between physical activity and periodontitis. The analysis was
adjusted for: age, gender, race, education, smoking, body mass index, poverty
index, vitamin use, healthy eating index, time since last dental visit, gingival
bleeding, and dental calculus. RESULTS: Engaging in the recommended level of
physical activity was significantly associated with lower periodontitis
prevalence (OR=0.58, 95% CI, 0.35-0.96). Smoking, however, was found to modify
this relationship. The association was strong and significant among never
(OR=0.46, 95% CI, 0.23-0.93) and former smokers (OR=0.26, 95% CI: 0.09-0.72), but
not among current smokers (OR=1.10, 95% CI: 0.48-2.53). CONCLUSIONS: These
results suggest that engaging in the recommended level of exercise is associated
with lower periodontitis prevalence, especially among never and former smokers. |
