ABSTRACT
Our study sought to evaluate the association between periodontitis and body mass index [BMI] among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this cross-sectional case control study analysis of 186 diabetic patients, 112 patients had a body mass index >30 kg/m[2] and 74 control patients had BMI <30 kg/m[2]. All participants underwent oral examinations including a full mouth recording of clinical attachment level [CAL]. Information regarding HbA1c levels and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein [hs-CRP] were also gathered. Over half [61%] of patients had a BMI > 30. Of these 52% had CAL less than 2 mm. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that there was no association between BMI and CAL. In addition, hs-CRP levels were significantly and positively associated with CAL [OR1.06, 95% CI 1.01, 1.12; p=0.007]. Among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, there was no association between periodontitis and BMI. More studies are needed to further explore this relationship taking into consideration additional lifestyle factors
