Sleep duration and severe periodontitis in middle‐aged Japanese workers

Abstract

Aim To evaluate the association between sleep duration and severe periodontitis in Japanese workers. Materials and methods This cross‐sectional study included 1130 workers (mean age 43.0 years) who underwent full‐mouth periodontal examinations and health check‐ups and completed a self‐administered questionnaire that included questions on sleep duration. Logistic regression and a restricted cubic spline model were used to analyse the data. Results Severe periodontitis was identified in 6.3% of the study population. Those with <5, 5–5.9, 6–6.9, 7–7.9, and ≥8 hr of sleep were 6.7%, 17.4%, 40.3%, 26.3%, and 8.9%, respectively. After adjusting for potential confounders, study participants who slept <5 hr were more likely to have severe periodontitis (adjusted odds ratio = 2.64; 95% confidence interval = 1.06–6.60) than those who slept 7–7.9 hr. The spline model, with a reference value of 399 min (the median sleep duration), showed a non‐linear association between sleep duration and severe periodontitis, where an increased prevalence of severe periodontitis was observed only among those with a shorter sleep duration. The prevalence of severe periodontitis did not increase with longer sleep duration. Conclusions Short sleep duration was associated with severe periodontitis in this cohort of Japanese adults.

Abnormal Micronutrient Intake Is Associated with the Risk of Periodontitis: A Dose–response Association Study Based on NHANES 2009–2014

“…Prevention and control of the occurrence and development of periodontitis is a pressing concern [12][13][14]. In addition to common risk factors, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, high blood sugar, and high blood pressure [9,[15][16][17][18], the close relationship between diet, sleep, mental health, and periodontitis has become a growing research topic in recent years [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”

Potential Risk Factors Associated with Their Effects Through Classification Algorithms: A Study of Periodontitis on Bangladeshi Garment Sector

“…Regular dental check-ups emerge as a potent protective factor, with individuals neglecting professional oral care facing a 2.54-fold higher risk of periodontitis. This highlights the integral role of preventive dentistry in mitigating periodontal risk and aligns with the concept of early intervention for maintaining oral health [40].…”

The Association Between Sleep Quality, Fatigue and Periodontal Status: a Pilot Study

“…Another study in which a significant relationship was detected between long sleep duration and periodontitis showed that the estimated probability of periodontitis for each hour of more sleep increased by 17% (15). Unlike these studies, the study by Iwasaki et al determined short sleep duration to be correlated with severe periodontitis (13). In another study, sleep deprivation was revealed to be associated with a high prevalence of periodontitis (12).…”

“…However, the inconsistency in the results is remarkable (11). Although some research on the subject has revealed a significant correlation between short sleep duration and periodontitis (12,13) and between short sleep duration and gingival health (14,15), other studies have found no significant relationship (11,(16)(17)(18). Among the studies investigating the correlation between sleep quality and periodontitis, there are studies that found (5,19,20) or did not find a significant correlation between poor sleep quality and periodontitis (16,21).…”
