| Research Abstract |
Periodontal infection itself does not cause atherosclerosis, but it accelerates it by inducing systemic inflammation and deteriorating lipid metabolism, particularly when underlying hyperlipidemia or susceptibility to hyperlipidemia exists, and it may contribute to the development of coronary heart disease. Further study is undertaken related to aging.
