Abstract
- Metabolic syndrome is growing alarming increase today. In addition, the presence of periodontal disease in these patients has important effects on general health control. We studied a group of 148 patients, hospitalized in SCJU Sibiu, aged between 45-79 years who presented metabolic syndrome. The patients were also consulted dentally and then answered a questionnaire. The following data were recorded: pocket depth, loss of epithelial insertion, bleeding after probing, frequency of tooth brushing, regular dental control, cardiovascular risk, alcohol consumption, smoking, diet preferences. Through the AutoML statistical method from the H2O system, we wanted to find out which of these risk factors has the strongest association with the metabolic syndrome. The obtained results confirm the highest association values are given by the severity of the periodontal disease, cardiovascular risk and bleeding on probing. The control of periodontal disease seems to be a feasible measure to control the parameters of the general inflammatory condition in the body. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
