Aim
Cellular oxygen sensing mechanisms have been linked to periodontal condition, and levels of haemoglobin (Hb) (the main carrier of oxygen) can be used as a surrogate measure for hypoxia. We aimed to examine relations between Hb levels and key periodontal health parameters in a general population.
Materials and Methods
The population comprised 1...
Aim:
To investigate whether long-term obesity, long-term central obesity and weight gain are associated with alveolar bone loss.
Materials and methods:
A sub-population (n = 1318) of the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 was categorized based on body mass index (BMI: normal weight, overweight and obesity) and waist circumference (WC: no central...
Aim:
To investigate whether periodontal condition measured by bleeding periodontal pockets is associated with atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and eczema nummulare.
Materials and methods:
The study population (n=1871) was obtained from the 46-year follow-up study of the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 study (NFBC1966). The periodonta...
Background
A genome‐wide association study is an analytical approach that investigates whether genetic variants across the whole genome contribute to disease progression. The aim of this study was to investigate genome-wide associations of periodontal condition measured as deepened periodontal pockets (≥ 4 mm) in Finnish adults.
Methods
This study...
Aim:
To investigate whether obesity, central obesity, and weight gain are associated with periodontal pocketing.
Materials and methods:
A never smoking sub-population (n = 725) of the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 was categorized based on body mass index (participants with normal weight, overweight, and obesity) and waist circumference (par...

Aim
To investigate the association of hyperglycaemia and changes in glycaemic control with periodontal status in non‐diabetic individuals.
Materials and methods
A sub‐population (n = 647) of the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 was studied. We categorized long‐term glucose balance based on fasting plasma glucose (FPG) at ages 31 and 46: FPG <5.0...
Aim
To investigate whether the metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with deepened periodontal pockets and alveolar bone loss.
Materials and methods
This study was based on a subpopulation of the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 survey (n = 1964). The criteria of the AHA/NHLBI were used to determine MetS. The analyses were based on the metabol...
In this article, the occurrence of dental plaque (PL) and the prevalence of deepened periodontal pockets (pd ≥ 4mm and pd ≥ 6mm) and bleeding after periodontal probing (BOP) in the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 study (NFBC 1966) are described . We also report the above periodontal findings, in relation to gender, smoking and education.
