This cross-sectional study analyzed data from a national survey to examine the link between diet quality and periodontal disease in South Korean adults over 40. It found that adults with poorer diet quality, particularly in the energy intake balance area, had a higher risk of periodontal disease.
The study found that females with periodontal disease had a lower total KHEI score, while males and females with periodontal disease showed lower scores for protein intake. Logistic regression analysis indicated that individuals with a low score for energy intake balance had a higher risk of periodontal disease (OR=1.15) after adjusting for several confounders. The discussion notes the study's cross-sectional design limits causal inference, and periodontal diagnosis relied only on the Community Periodontal Index.
