| Popis: | Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the tissues surrounding the teeth, with evidence of systemic effects. Some studies showed the benefit of periodontal therapy on blood pressure (BP), but the impact of periodontitis on BP control is unknown. We retrospectively analyzed cross-sectional, nationally representative data from treated hypertensive adults aged ≥30 years with and without periodontitis. BP was examined as both continuous (mm Hg) and categorical (treatment goal achievement status according to guidelines: at goal and above goal) variable according to the presence or absence of periodontitis and its clinical parameters (probing depth, clinical attachment loss, and disease severity [mild, moderate, and severe]). Systolic BP means and odds ratios for uncontrolled BP according to the presence and severity of periodontitis were calculated using progressively adjusted models. Among treated hypertensive adults, mean systolic BP was about 2.3 to 3 mm Hg higher in the presence of periodontitis ( P |
