Abstract　： [ABSTRACT] In this study, we determined the association between the components of metabolic syndrome and periodontal status in a rural community in Japan. A total of 246 residents participated in a comprehensive health screening. The medical examination included anthropometric and manometric measurement and blood chemistry tests. Periodontal status was assessed using the Community Periodontal index and subects with the score >=3 were considered to have periodontitis. Analysis was performed on 210 of the participants who were not taking medication. A total of 39% of subjects were considered to have periodontitis. Significant differences between subjects with and without periodontitis were observed in age, gender and blood glucose level. A multiple logistic regression model showed that subjects with high blood glucose level were at increased risk of having periodontitis. The results indicate that high blood glucose level might be a potential indicator for the presence of periodontitis in this rural Japanese population.
