概括
以腐烂的缺失和填充牙 (DMFT) 和表面 (DMFS) 来衡量较高的牙损伤率,独立地与心血管疾病有关. 这表明牙健康可能会影响传统风险因素之外的心脏健康.
科学领域:
- 口腔卫生流行病学 口腔卫生流行病学
- 心血管疾病研究研究
- 公共卫生 公共卫生
背景情况:
- 在考虑共享风险因素时,关于牙损伤和心血管疾病 (CVD) 之间的关联存在不确定的流行病学证据.
- 牙腐烂的定量指数,如腐烂的缺失和填充的表面/牙 (DMFS/DMFT),需要进一步调查它们与心血管疾病的独立关联.
研究的目的:
- 确定牙损伤 (DMFS/DMFT) 和心血管疾病的定量指数之间的独立关联.
- 在两个不同的大规模牙科和医疗数据集中分析这些关联,控制传统的风险因素.
主要方法:
- 使用牙科登记和DNA存储库 (DRDR) 和国家健康和营养检查调查 (NHANES) 的数据进行横截面分析.
- 采用多重回归模型来评估DMFS/DMFT和心血管疾病之间的关联,并根据年龄,性别,吸烟,种族,收入和牙周状况等共变量进行调整.
- 使用R软件和STATA进行了统计分析,并对多次测试进行了调整.
主要成果:
- 与NHANES参与者相比,DRDR数据集中的参与者报告的心血管疾病史 (23.97%) 和DMFT得分 (19.58) 比NHANES参与者 (18.06%心血管疾病,14.78 DMFT) 高.
- 在调整了混因子后,DMFS在DRDR人群中显示出与心血管疾病的显著关联 (p < 0.006).
- 在NHANES数据集中,DMFT与心血管疾病有显著的关联 (p < 0.0001),即使考虑到多种风险因素和牙周健康指标.
结论:
- 牙损的更高患病率独立地与患有心血管疾病病史的可能性增加有关.
- 这些发现突出了口腔健康状况和心血管健康之间的潜在联系,独立于已确定的风险因素.

Coronary Artery Disease I: Introduction
869
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): An Overview with Scientific InsightsCoronary Artery Disease (CAD), often referred to as C-A-D, is a prevalent blood vessel disorder classified under the broader category of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a pathological process characterized by the hardening and narrowing of arteries due to the accumulation of atherosclerotic plaques. These plaques are composed of cholesterol, fatty substances, inflammatory cells, calcium, and fibrin, reducing blood flow to...

Tooth Anatomy
2.0K
The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

Coronary Artery Disease IV: Preventive Measures
580
Effective preventive measures for coronary artery disease (CAD) focus on controlling modifiable risk factors, including cholesterol abnormalities and lifestyle changes.Cholesterol ManagementFirst, the Mediterranean diet and the American Heart Association advocate for maintaining low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels below 100 mg/dL, with a more stringent recommendation of below 70 mg/dL for individuals at high risk. LDL cholesterol, often termed "bad cholesterol," can lead to the...

Psychoneuroimmunology: Cardiovascular Disease
382
Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is a multidisciplinary field that examines how psychological factors, particularly stress, interact with the immune system and impact physical health. Research in PNI has shown that chronic or traumatic stress can disrupt both the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the sympathetic nervous system. These disruptions contribute to serious health conditions, including cardiovascular diseases.
A key area of focus in PNI is the relationship between stress and coronary...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT
381
Calcium-Scoring CT ScanA calcium-scoring CT scan, also known as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan, detects calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. This test assesses the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to cardiovascular events such as angina, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.A calcium-scoring CT scan is generally recommended for individuals at intermediate risk of CAD without symptoms. It includes:Men aged 40-75 and women aged 50-75: Especially those with a...

Coronary Artery Disease II: Pathophysiology
360
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) originates from a series of events that impair the function of coronary arteries, the blood vessels responsible for delivering oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. The pathophysiology of CAD is closely linked to atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory and lipid-driven condition affecting the vascular endothelium.1. Endothelial DamageThe process begins with damage to the vascular endothelium, which serves as a protective barrier between the blood and the vessel...
