Zusammenfassung: | To explore the association between hyperuricemia and having periodontitis.
A representative cross-sectional dataset of 10,158 adults was extracted from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2009-2014. The association between hyperuricemia (the primary exposure) and having periodontitis (outcome) were evaluated using weighted logistic regression models. Serum uric acid (UA) levels and the UA to creatinine (UA/Cr) ratio were used as secondary exposures. Their associations with the diagnosis periodontitis were analyzed using weighted logistic regression or restricted cubic spline regression.
The prevalence of Stages III/IV periodontitis was 47.7% among individuals with hyperuricemia and 37.4% among those without. After adjustment, individuals with hyperuricemia had 0.281 times higher odds of developing Stages III/IV periodontitis compared to those without hyperuricemia (adjusted OR = 1.286, 95% CI = 1.040 to 1.591, P = 0.024). The increased odds could be explained by a linear relationship with the serum UA/Cr ratio and a U-shaped relationship with serum UA levels. Each unit increase in the serum UA/Cr ratio was associated with 0.048 times higher odds of developing Stages III/IV periodontitis (adjusted OR = 1.048, 95% CI = 1.008 to 1.088, P = 0.021). Additionally, each 1 mg/dL increase in serum UA was associated with 0.156 times higher odds (adjusted OR = 1.156, 95% CI = 1.009 to 1.323, P = 0.038) of developing Stages III/IV periodontitis when UA levels were greater than 5.9 mg/dL, but 0.118 times lower odds when UA levels were 5.9 mg/dL or lower (adjusted OR = 0.882, 95% CI = 0.790 to 0.984, P = 0.027). Sensitivity analyses validated the robustness of the findings.
This study provides the first direct evidence that hyperuricemia is associated with Stages III/IV periodontitis.
Hyperuricemia may represent a new potential comorbidity of periodontitis, possibly contributing directly or indirectly to the disease burden in patients with periodontitis.
