Objectives: The purpose of this study was synthetically examine the relationship between oral health-related behaviors and high-sensitivity CRP levels.
Method: This study was conducted using data of Fifth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. SPSS 20.0 for Window was applied for statistical analysis. The data were collected from 5,945, age ≥19 years. To analyze the association between oral health-related behaviors and high-sensitivity CRP level, was used multiple logistic regression analysis and the independent t-test.
Results: The concentration of high-sensitivity CRP was lower in group for preventive dental care such as scaling treatment in recent 1 year (p< 0.10). The frequency of daily tooth brushing was significant to high-sensitivity CRP level (r = -0.055, p< 0.001). Preventive dental care and the frequency of daily tooth brushing were significantly correlated with the plasma high-sensitivity CRP level after adjusting for sex, age and chronic disease status.
Conclusions: The concentration of high-sensitivity CRP seems to be correlated with oral health-related behaviors such as the frequency of daily tooth brushing and preventive dental care. This study may be used as a basic data for research to clarify the relationship between oral health-related behaviors and cardiovascular diseases and chronic inflammatory diseases.
