Abstrakt: Background: To assess the sequelae of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) and associated factors, such as obesity and periodontitis in adults. Methods: The study included 128 individuals aged ≥35 years with a history of a diagnosis of COVID‐19 through real‐time polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR), from Pelotas, Brazil. Self‐report sequelae from COVID‐19 were defined as the primary outcome. A questionnaire containing sociodemographic, medical, behavioral and self‐report of sequelae of COVID‐19 was applied. A complete periodontal clinical examination was performed. Weight and height were assessed. Uni‐, bi‐ and multivariate analyses were performed using Poisson regression with robust variance. Additional analyses were performed considering obesity as a subgroup. Results: When considering the whole sample, no statistically significant associations between sequelae of COVID‐19 with periodontitis (prevalence ratio [PR]:1.14;95% confidence interval [95%CI]: 0.80–1.61) and obesity (0.93 [0.68–1.26]) were identified. In the subgroup analysis, considering only individuals with obesity, those diagnosed with generalized periodontitis had 86% higher probability to have sequelae of COVID‐19 when compared to individuals with periodontal health or localized periodontitis. However, when only those without obesity were considered, no significant association with periodontal status was detected (0.82 [0.55–1.23). No significant association with periodontal status were observed when the severity of sequelae (no sequelae, 1 sequela, and >1 sequela) were considered (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Individuals diagnosed with obesity and periodontitis have a higher PR of reporting sequelae from COVID‐19 compared to individuals with only obesity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
