Association of height with inflammation and periodontitis: the Study of Health in Pomerania
Aim: Short stature in adulthood has been associated with increased risk of health problems. Predisposition to inflammatory diseases might be associated with impaired length growth and impose a lifelong inflammatory burden.

| description |
Aim: Short stature in adulthood has been associated with increased risk of health
problems. Predisposition to inflammatory diseases might be associated with impaired
length growth and impose a lifelong inflammatory burden. We tested this hypothesis in
a cross-sectional population-based study with respect to periodontitis.
Material and Methods: In 4290 randomly selected subjects from the normal
population , we determined anthropometric measures and diagnostic periodontal
parameters. Behavioural and environmental risk factors were assessed by interviews
and questionnaires.
Results: In regression analyses adjusted for age, gender, smoking, diabetes,
education, and dental appointments, an inverse association was observed between
height and clinical attachment loss. The magnitude of the association was higher in
presence of risk factors smoking or diabetes. Odds ratios for smoking were 3.5 (2.2–
5.7%, 95% confidence interval) and 2.6 (1.5–4.3%) with the shortest and tallest height
quartile, respectively. Figures for diabetes were 1.37 (1.04–1.80%) and 0.97 (0.67–
1.39%), respectively. Stratification for age and gender revealed that taller subjects had
less periodontitis and decreased concentrations of markers of systemic inflammation
than their shorter counterparts.
Conclusion: This study is the first to associate height with periodontitis concluding
that individuals born with a high susceptibility to infectious and inflammatory diseases
may suffer from such diseases in childhood whereby the length growth could be
impaired. Reaching adulthood, growth comes to a halt but the individual remains
susceptible to inflammatory sequelae. Thus, smaller persons pertain a tendency to
more severe periodontitis. |
