“…Evidence has revealed that the prevalence of periodontitis among Saudi adults is significantly higher than among other populations [34]. Most of the periodontitis research in Saudi Arabia seems to focus on investigating periodontitis among high-risk groups of patients, such as those with obesity or diabetes; however, researchers have not frequently studied the prevalence rate of periodontitis [34,35]. The Al-Baha region is one of 13 regions of Saudi Arabia.…”

The aim of this study was to explore periodontal health among intellectually disabled individuals living in an institutional rehabilitation centre in the Al-Baha Region of Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2023 to January 2024. Clinical oral examinations were carried out using the World Health Organization criteria for bleeding sites and the presence of periodontal pockets. Simplified oral hygiene and community periodontal indices were employed to evaluate participants’ oral health. A total of 89 participants, comprising both males and females with intellectual disabilities, were included in this study. Gender, severity of intellectual disability, type of additional physical disability, tooth brushing habits and oral hygiene status were significantly associated with the presence of periodontal disease. Additionally, poor oral hygiene, not brushing teeth and periodontal pockets of 4–5 mm and 6 mm or more were significantly more prevalent among individuals with severe and moderate intellectual disabilities (p = 0.001, p = 0.001, p = 0.001 and p = 0.001, respectively). The prevalence of periodontal disease among the studied population was 54%. The odds of having periodontal disease were significantly higher in the severe intellectual disability group compared to the mild intellectual disability group (OR = 2.328, 95% CI = 1.430–3.631, p = 0.03). It was also found that intellectually disabled participants with additional physical disabilities suffered more from periodontal disease than those without additional physical disabilities (OR = 0.971, 95% CI = 0.235–4.023, p = 0.025). Overall, individuals with intellectual disabilities had a significant demand for periodontal care. This study highlighted the need for more organised preventive programmes for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Dentists should be vigilant about improving periodontal health, focus on preventive programmes and provide comprehensive dental care with an emphasis on periodic recall and monitoring.

Background. Diabetic angiopathy has been reported to be a common complication in patients with diabetes mellitus. The lungs also have been reported to be the affected organ. The present study aimed to determine the impacts of glycemic control on lung function in younger and older patients with diabetes. Methods. One hundred twenty‐two patients were recruited to the present analytical observational study. HbA1c, patient’s medical history, and current health status obtained from the hospital medical records were collected. Spirometry was performed for the lung function test. Self‐reported respiratory symptoms were obtained. Regression analysis, odds ratio, and mean differences between groups were revealed. Results. Forced vital capacity (%predicted) in patients with diabetes was lower than 80%. It also was associated with the self‐reported respiratory symptoms. Regression analysis revealed that glycemic control influenced pulmonary function in patients with diabetes (standardized coefficient beta = −0.224, p value = 0.014). HbA1c level > 7% was a factor in reducing the forced vital capacity in the patients (odds ratio = 3.125; 95% CI, 1.401–6.964). With respect to age and glycemic control, forced vital capacity (%predicted) of patients aged ≥60 years old with poor glycemic control also was significantly lower than those with good glycemic control (p < 0.001).Conclusions. The pulmonary function test of the patients with diabetes indicates restrictive lungs. Poor glycemic control impairs lung function and may cause respiratory symptoms, especially in the elderly.
