The researchers of Japan's Fujita Health University have found that bad oral health can be related to lifestyle diseases, including high-risk of diabetes, lipid metabolism and kidney disease. The work was published in the "Restoration of Oral Restoration" (Jor).
118 people over the age of 50 took part in the study, who regularly inspected medical examinations. Scientists have compared the results of blood tests, including glucose, cholesterol and kidney function, with the results of seven tests that evaluate the health of the oral health. These include language coverage index, the food of the mucous membrane, the amount of functioning teeth, the strength of the pressure, chewing, swallow issues and the clearance of the clearance.
It turned out that people with a high level of glucose and glycosylized hemoglobin (HBA1C) had significantly less teeth. Participants with high cholesterol levels were more inclined to reduce the language of the language and reduce the ability to utter. Such interconnections were also observed in patients with renal function disorder.
"The results show that the reduction in the function of the oral cavity can be a meter and risk factor for the development of metabolism. Therefore, maintaining the health of the oral cavity is an important step towards maintaining common health, "said Professor Mizioshi Yoshida.
The authors emphasize that the inclusion of the functional assessments of the oral cavity in regular medical examinations may be an effective way to prevent chronic diseases.
