Abstract

|
|
Objectives: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been associated with systemic diseases, such as periodontaldiseases. Periodontal diseases and RA appear to share many pathologic features. The etiology of thetwo diseases may differ, but they share similar pathological characteristics. Therefore, the aim of thisstudy was to evaluate the correlation between RA and periodontal diseases.
Methods: Data from the Fifth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHNES) wereused to analyze periodontal status according to the presence of RA. Demographics and oral behaviorswere analyzed using the complex chi-square test to compare participants with RA with those withoutRA. Complex logistic regression was used to analyze relationships of periodontal diseases with RA andother covariates.
Results: The odds ratio for periodontal diseases was 1.91 (95% confidence interval: 1.05-3.48) in participantswith RA compared with participants without RA.
Conclusions: The results of this study provide evidence of a significant association between periodontaldiseases and RA.
