Effects of smoking and genotype on the PSR index of periodontal disease in adults aged 18-49.

ABSTRACT: Studies have found both genetic and environmental influences on chronic periodontitis. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among previously identified genetic variants, smoking status, and two periodontal disease-related phenotypes (PSR1 and PSR2) in 625 Caucasian adults (aged 18-49 years). The PSR Index was used to classify participants as affected or unaffected under the PSR1 and PSR2 phenotype definitions. Using logistic regression, we found that the form of the relationship varied by single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP): For rs10457525 and rs12630931, the effects of smoking and genotype on risk were additive; whereas for rs10457526 and rs733048, smoking was not independently associated with affected status once genotype was taken into consideration. In contrast, smoking moderated the relationships of rs3870371 and rs733048 with affected status such that former and never smokers with select genotypes were at increased genetic risk. Thus, for several groups, knowledge of genotype may refine the risk prediction over that which can be determined by knowledge of smoking status alone. Future studies should replicate these findings. These findings provide the foundation for the exploration of novel pathways by which periodontitis may occur.

Project description:ImportanceStroke remains the second leading cause of death worldwide. Approximately 10% to 15% of all strokes occur in young adults. Information on prognosis and mortality specifically in young adults is limited.ObjectiveTo determine short- and long-term mortality risk after stroke in young adults, according to age, sex, and stroke subtype; time trends in mortality; and causes of death.Design, setting, and participantsRegistry- and population-based study in the Netherlands of 15 527 patients aged 18 to 49 years with first stroke between 1998 and 2010, and follow-up until January 1, 2017. Patients and outcomes were identified through linkage of the national Hospital Discharge Registry, national Cause of Death Registry, and the Dutch Population Register.ExposuresFirst stroke occurring at age 18 to 49 years, documented using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, and International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision, codes for ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, and stroke not otherwise specified.Main outcomes and measuresPrimary outcome was all-cause cumulative mortality in 30-day survivors at end of follow-up, stratified by age, sex, and stroke subtype, and compared with all-cause cumulative mortality in the general population.ResultsThe study population included 15 527 patients with stroke (median age, 44 years [interquartile range, 38-47 years]; 53.3% women). At end of follow-up, a total of 3540 cumulative deaths had occurred, including 1776 deaths within 30 days after stroke and 1764 deaths (23.2%) during a median duration of follow-up of 9.3 years (interquartile range, 5.9-13.1 years). The 15-year mortality in 30-day survivors was 17.0% (95% CI, 16.2%-17.9%). The standardized mortality rate compared with the general population was 5.1 (95% CI, 4.7-5.4) for ischemic stroke (observed mortality rate 12.0/1000 person-years [95% CI, 11.2-12.9/1000 person-years]; expected rate, 2.4/1000 person-years; excess rate, 9.6/1000 person-years) and the standardized mortality rate for intracerebral hemorrhage was 8.4 (95% CI, 7.4-9.3; observed rate, 18.7/1000 person-years [95% CI, 16.7-21.0/1000 person-years]; expected rate, 2.2/1000 person-years; excess rate, 16.4/1000 person-years).Conclusions and relevanceAmong young adults aged 18 to 49 years in the Netherlands who were 30-day survivors of first stroke, mortality risk compared with the general population remained elevated up to 15 years later.

Project description:ObjectiveThe muscle quality index (MQI) is a measurement of muscle quality that is directly related to overall health. There has been little study on the relationship between the muscle quality index and periodontitis in American people beyond 30 years. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the link between periodontitis and Muscle quality index (MQI) in older Americans.MethodsThree thousand two hundred fifty-eight individuals (aged 30 to 59) who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2014 were considered eligible for the cross-sectional investigation. A hand dynamometer was used to determine the handgrip strength (HGS). Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was employed to calculate ASM (DXA). MQIArm was calculated by dividing the dominant hand's HGS by the dominant arm's ASM (in kg/kg). MQIApp was calculated by dividing the dominant hand's HGS by the ASM (in kg/kg). MQItotal was calculated by dividing the sum of the dominant and non-dominant hands by the ASM (in kg/kg). To investigate the link between muscle quality index and periodontal disease, the weighted multivariable logistic regression models were used. Using generalized additive models, it was determined if a nonlinear connection existed. Then, we developed a two-piece linear regression model and calculated the inflection point using a recursive approach. A mediation study was performed to determine how much of the impact of MQItotal on periodontitis was mediated by potential variables.ResultsThree thousand two hundred fifty-eight participants from the United States were enrolled. The OR (95% CI) for the relationship between MQItotal and periodontitis in the regression model with fully adjusted variables was 0.69 (0.53-0.91), for the connection between MQIArm and periodontitis was 0.90 (0.84-0.97), and for the association between MQIApp and periodontitis was 0.49 (0.30-0.80). MQItotal and periodontitis were shown to have a J-shaped relationship with a change point of 3.64. Before the change point, the OR (95% CI) was 0.69 (0.58, 0.82). In the analysis of drinking and married status, the interaction was statistically significant. Analysis of mediation showed that alcohol use was responsible for 0.4% (0.10 to 1.2) of the effect of MQItotal on periodontitis.ConclusionIn American adults aged over 30, the Muscle Quality Index (MQI) exhibited an independent negative correlation with moderate to severe periodontitis, demonstrating a J-shaped relationship. Furthermore, alcohol consumption may act as a mediator in the association between MQI and periodontitis.

Project description:Pain is a major health problem among U.S. adults. Surprisingly little, however, is known about educational disparities in pain, especially among the nonelderly. In this study, we analyze disparities in pain across levels of educational attainment. Using data from the 2010 to 2017 National Health Interview Survey among adults aged 30 to 49 (N = 74,051), we estimate logistic regression models of pain prevalence using a dichotomous summary pain index and its 5 constituent pain sites (low back, joint, neck, headache/migraine, and facial/jaw). We find a significant and steep pain gradient: greater levels of educational attainment are associated with less pain, with 2 important exceptions. First, adults with a high-school equivalency diploma (GED) and those with "some college" have significantly higher pain levels than high school graduates despite having an equivalent or higher attainment, respectively. Second, the education-pain gradient is absent for Hispanic adults. After taking into account important covariates including employment, economic resources, health behaviors, physical health conditions, and psychological wellbeing, educational disparities in pain are no longer statistically significant except for the GED and "some college" categories, which still show significantly higher pain levels than high school graduates. We thus document the overall education-pain gradient in most younger U.S. adult populations, and identify groups where pain is higher than expected (certain educational categories) or lower than expected (eg, less-educated Hispanics). Understanding the causes of these anomalous findings could clarify factors shaping pain prevalence and disparities therein. PERSPECTIVE: Over 50% of U.S. adults age 30 to 49 report pain. Overall, more educated Americans report substantially less pain than the less educated. However, adults with a GED and "some college" report more pain than other groups. Understanding the causes could help illuminate the mechanisms through which social factors influence pain.
