“…Therefore, a logistic regression model was employed to select variables that were associated with both MetS and tooth brushing frequency. Because lifestyle behaviors were quite different between males and females [5], variable selection was carried out separately by gender. In addition, age was considered as a confounder a priori [5].…”

“…MetS. The results suggested that the frequency of tooth brushing, as well as dietary, exercise and drinking habits affected the risk of metabolic syndrome [5]. Although diet, exercise, stress management, smoking and alcohol consumption are identified as items for health guidance in the "Standard Physical Checkup and Health Guidance Program" by the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry [6], oral care is not included.…”

“…Lifestyle behaviors are considered to be mutually related [5]. Accordingly, the relationship between MetS and oral care activity may possibly be affected by other lifestyle behaviors.…”

Associations have been reported between periodontal disease and increased cardiovascular disease risk, as well as between healthy self-reported tooth brushing behavior and reduced cardiovascular disease risk. We examined the association between self-reported tooth brushing behavior and the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) using a large medical check-up database. A total of 12,548 medical checkup records from a medical screening center in a city in southwest Japan were assessed. Subjects were aged 30 to 59 years. As lifestyle is associated with both tooth brushing and MetS, many lifestyle variables were considered as potential confounders. Logistic regression model were employed with a list of 127 lifestyle variables. Twenty variables associated with both tooth brushing and MetS were selected for both males and females. Furthermore, final confounding variables were selected by principal component analysis to avoid collinearity problems. The association of tooth brushing and MetS was evaluated for males and females separately by calculating adjusted odds ratios (ORs) with selected confounders plus age. The association between daily tooth brushing frequency and MetS risk for both genders was significant after adjusting for confounders, with the risk of MetS decreasing with increased frequency of daily tooth brushing (adjusted OR = 0.57 (95%Cl:0.48-0.81), 0.50 (95%Cl:0.35-0.71), 0.42 (95%Cl: 0.29-0.61) for males and adjusted OR = 0.65 (95%Cl:0.48-0.87), 0.44 (95%Cl:0.32-0.62) for females). Therefore, oral hygiene, including the frequency of tooth brushing as a significant component, may be an important factor in preventing MetS.
