The hidden connection between periodontal disease and metabolic syndrome

14.08.13

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of risk factors, including insulin resistance and obesity, which increases the risk for cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. Its prevalence varies globally, influenced by factors such as gender, country, and ethnicity. In the United States, about 25% of adults over 20 and 40% of older adults are affected. In Europe, prevalence ranges from 7% to 36% in men and 5% to 22% in women, depending on the study and population. Rapid economic changes in countries like China have seen a rise in MetS, largely due to increasing obesity rates.

• Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with severe systemic and oral health complications, including periodontitis, which is characterised by gum inflammation, periodontal tissue damage, and tooth loss.
• Pre-diabetes, a metabolic condition with elevated blood glucose levels below the diabetic threshold, is also linked to complications like nephropathy and neuropathy.

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the supporting structures of the teeth, leading to progressive periodontal tissue destruction and eventual tooth loss if untreated. The main aetiological factor for periodontitis is plaque. However, the two main risk factors for progression of the disease have been identified as smoking and diabetes.

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is associated with systemic inflammation, which may worsen oral health. Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory condition leading to gum and bone loss, has been linked to worse glycaemic control.
