Abstract:

The aim of this study was to systematically review studies on the association between obesity and periodontitis. The methods applied include a literature search strategy, inclusion and exclusion criteria for selecting the studies, characteristics of the studies, and meta-analysis. Data sources included PubMed, EMBASE and LILACS until 2010. Selected papers were articles relating to human studies investigating whether or not obesity is a risk factor for periodontitis. Of the 822 identified studies, 31 studies met the inclusion criteria and are included in this meta-analysis. The risk of periodontitis was associated with obesity (or had a tendency towards this) in 25 studies, and in 6 studies it was not associated. The meta-analysis showed a significant association between obesity and periodontitis (OR = 1.30 [95% Confidence Interval (CI), 1.25 - 1.35]) and with mean Body Mass Index (BMI) and periodontal disease (mean difference = 2.75 [95% CI, 2.71 - 2.80]). Obesity was associated with periodontitis, however the risk factors that aggravate these diseases should be clarified to elucidate the direction of this association. Working with paired samples and avoiding confounding factors may contribute to the homogeneity of the studies.
