Abstract:
Objectives:This study aimed to show a correlation between periodontal disease and hypertension.
Methods:This study analyzed data of 6794 adults over 19 years based on results from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for the period 2016-2018. Complex sample analysis and propensity score matching analysis methods were conducted to determine whether a correlation between periodontal disease and hypertension existed.
Results:Results of the complex sample logistic regression analysis were: OR=1.4 (95% CI:1.23-1.58). However, the result of the conditional logistic regression analysis after propensity score matching yielded no correlation between periodontitis and hypertension (OR=1.03 (95% CI:0.92-1.16)).
Conclusions:It is difficult to conclude that a significant correlation exists between hypertension and periodontal disease, and further studies need to be performed to assess a significant correlation.
