Abstract
We investigated the association between ambient air pollutant exposure and periodontal health using data from 17,271 adults in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2012-2015). Participants' periodontal status was categorized based on their community periodontal index (CPI) scores. Using multiple logistic regression models, we examined the relationship between air pollutant levels and poor periodontal status at various lag periods. After adjusting for potential confounders, PM10 exposure was associated with a poor periodontal status (short-term: 0-1 and 0-2 lag days; medium-term: 0-1 and 0-2 lag months). SO2 exposure showed similar associations (short-term, 0-2 to 0-7 lag days; medium-term, 0-4 to 0-6 lag months). Only increased medium-term O3 exposure (0-2 to 0-6 lag months) was associated with a poor periodontal status. NO2 exposure was inversely associated with poor periodontal status for both short- and medium-term durations.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Environmental Health Research ( IJEHR ) is devoted to the rapid publication of research in environmental health, acting as a link between the diverse research communities and practitioners in environmental health. Published articles encompass original research papers, technical notes and review articles. IJEHR publishes articles on all aspects of the interaction between the environment and human health. This interaction can broadly be divided into three areas: the natural environment and health – health implications and monitoring of air, water and soil pollutants and pollution and health improvements and air, water and soil quality standards; the built environment and health – occupational health and safety, exposure limits, monitoring and control of pollutants in the workplace, and standards of health; and communicable diseases – disease spread, control and prevention, food hygiene and control, and health aspects of rodents and insects. IJEHR is published in association with the International Federation of Environmental Health and includes news from the Federation of international meetings, courses and environmental health issues.
