The association between alveolar bone loss and arthritis Research objective: • To analyze if the alveolar bone loss is associated with arthritis. • A dentist can help in the early diagnosis of arthritis by recognizing the oral symptoms such as alveolar bone loss and examining the medical history. • The dental patients can then be referred to the physician by the dentist and early treatment can lead to better health outcomes for the patients. Research design and Methods: • A cross-sectional study • Sample size (N) = 9254 • The data from National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES 2017-2018) analyzed using SAS software. • Outcome variable: Alveolar bone loss • Independent variable: Arthritis • Univariate and multivariate logistic regression performed Univariate and multivariate logistic regression results Independent variable Arthritis Yes vs No (Ref.) Outcome or dependent variable: Alveolar bone loss Unadjusted odds ratio 95% CI P-value Adjusted odds ratio** 95% CI P-value 2.12 1.752.57 <0.0001* 1.54 1.182.01 0.0035* *p < 0.01 **Adjusted for age, gender, and race CI: Confidence interval Study population characteristics Variables N (%) Missing N Age (Mean) 9254 (38.4) 0 Alveolar bone loss 4700 4554 Yes 792 (16.6) No 3908 (83.4) Arthritis 5552 Yes 1695 (27.9) No 3857 (72.1) Gender 9254 Male 4557 (48.9) Female 4697 (51.1) Race 9254 Mexican American 1367 (10.8) Other Hispanic 820 (7.3) Non-Hispanic White 3150 (59.2) Non-Hispanic Black 2115 (11.8) Other Race - Including Multi-Racial 1802 (10.8) 3702 0 0 Results: • After controlling for age, gender, and race, alveolar bone loss was positively associated with arthritis. • Adjusted odds ratio: After adjusting for age, gender, and race, the individuals with arthritis are 1.54 times (95%CI, 1.2 • -2.0) or 54% more likely of having alveolar bone loss compared to those who did not have arthritis. • Unadjusted odds ratio: The individuals with arthritis are 2.12 times (95%CI, 1.8-2.6) or 112% more likely of having alveolar bone loss compared to those who did not have arthritis. Conclusion: • There is a positive association between alveolar bone loss and arthritis. • A dentist should carefully go through the medical history of a patient with alveolar bone loss to determine if they might have arthritis and should refer them to the physician for further medical examination.
