Abstract

The study evaluates the prevalence and clinical features of periodontal disease in obese people with arterial hypertension. It has been reported that obese patients with hypertension and a high BMI have a higher prevalence of metabolic disturbances characterized by increased levels of basal and glucose-stimulated insulin. We found that patients with metabolic syndrome and grade III obesity are more likely to have chronic generalized severe periodontitis.

Keywords

obesity, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, chronic periodontitis.
