Outline of Final Research Achievements

I measured salivary stress markers for participants of Japan Multi-Institutional
Collaborative Cohort Study Kyoto field, and examined the relationship between salivary stress markers (cortisol, lactoferrin (Lf), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and choromogranin A) and intraoral state, lifestyle habits and systemic illness. In males, there was a significant difference in salivary cortisol based on the number of remaining teeth and saliva sampling time, in salivary IL-6 based on smoking and alcohol status and saliva sampling time, and in salivary Lf based on Community Periodontal Index, smoking status and saliva sampling time. Salivary cortisol and IL-6 had significantly difference in pointed out as having a bad breath by another person, and salivary cortisol had significantly difference in saliva sampling time in female.When measuring stress with salivary stress markers, it is necessary to consider saliva sampling time in males and saliva sampling time in women.
