Abstract
Human obesity may cause periodontitis. Study objective was to examine the relationship between male body composition and periodontal status. Our sample consisted of 300 males aged 30-60, 62 with periodontal disease-free gums, 90 with gingivitis, 78 with initial periodontitis, and 70 with established periodontitis. Besides assessing the body mass index, waist circumference and skeletal muscle and bone mass (body water, body fat, and body composition), we also measured the waist circumference (WC). When age, diabetes history, smoking, physical activity, and socioeconomic status were adjusted for, BMI, WC, and body composition were statistically significantly correlated with periodontitis. These variables (BMI, WC, and body composition parameters) did not change with mild periodontal disease (gingivitis) or initial periodontitis, but did with severe periodontitis. The severity of periodontal disease in men appears to be related to their body composition, although further research is needed to confirm this preliminary finding
