Description
Dilek Ozkan Sen and co-authors link lifestyle to gum disease and tooth decay in a 2024 study. Periodontal disease, the slow destruction of the tissues holding teeth, is tied to many habits, but diet and physical activity were understudied. The team enrolled one hundred eighty-five people in three groups: healthy gums, gingivitis, and full periodontitis.
Each person reported activity levels, diet quality on a Mediterranean score, and how often they ate carbohydrates. Clinical and X-ray exams scored decayed, missing, and filled teeth. The periodontitis group had worse teeth, brushed less, and moved less. More activity, especially in free time, and less sitting tracked with lower disease rates. The mouth, the study suggests, keeps the body's habits on record.
