BACKGROUND: Maintaining normal weight, engaging in the recommended level of
exercise, and eating healthy food are known to improve general health. The impact
of these behaviors on periodontal health is not well documented. This study is
aimed at examining whether the increased number of these behaviors is associated
with a decrease in the prevalence of periodontitis in a United States population.
METHODS: This study utilized data on 12,110 individuals who participated in the
third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Multivariate logistic
regression analysis was used to estimate the association between the number of
health-enhancing behaviors and periodontitis prevalence. Health enhancing
behaviors included maintaining normal weight (body mass index [BMI], 18.5 to 24.9
kg/m(2)), engaging in the recommended level of exercises (>or=episodes of
moderate or >or=episodes of vigorous-intensity physical activity per week), and
having a high-quality diet (healthy eating index >80). RESULTS: After controlling
for age, gender, race\ethnicity, cigarette smoking, other tobacco products,
education, diabetes, poverty index, census region, acculturation, vitamin use,
time since the last dental visit, dental calculus, and gingival bleeding, a
1-unit increase in the number of the three health-enhancing behaviors was
associated with a 16% reduction in the prevalence of periodontitis (odds ratio
[OR]=0.84; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.77 to 0.93). Individuals who
maintained normal weight, engaged in the recommended level of exercise, and had a
high-quality diet were 40% less likely to have periodontitis compared to
individuals who maintained none of these health-enhancing behaviors. CONCLUSION:
An increased number of health-enhancing behaviors is associated with a lower |
