Relación del síndrome metabólico en pacientes con enfermedades periodontales de la clínica odontológica de la UCSG.

Abstract

Objective: Analyze the possible relationship between metabolic syndrome (MS) and periodontal disease in patients who attend the periodontology clinic of the dentistry program at the Universidad Católica Santiago de Guayaquil during the A2024 period. Method and materials: To achieve it, patient data was collected and tabulated using Excel with the aim of applying a statistical analysis, considering measures of central tendency such as mean and standard deviation, and Pearson's chisquared test. Glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, hemoglobin, waist-hip ratio, and blood pressure were considered for the prevalence of metabolic syndrome. Additionally, the stage and grade were taken into account for periodontitis. Results: There is between 64.29-75.00% of elevated SM factors in patients with periodontitis and SM. There was mostly between 40.00-80.00% and a 35.00-85.00% of elevated SM factors in each stage and grade of periodontitis studied, respectively. Conclusions: There was no association between age, sex, periodontal stage and grade with the prevalence of metabolic syndrome, Nevertheless, there was a statistically significant relationship between glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, glycosylated hemoglobin, waist-hip ratio, and blood pressure values with the metabolic syndrome.
