| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recent epidemiological study confirmed cardiorenal association. Periodontal disease is thought to play important role in cardiovascular and renal function. However, its effect on cardiorenal association has not been fully studied yet.
We investigated the effect of serum antibodies to periodontal bacteria on cardiorenal association.
Based on the results of epidemiological survey of community-based population and hemodialysis patient group, we confirmed that periodontal disease was significantly associated with renal and cardiovascular status. Future studies evaluating the potential effect of oral interventions for periodontal health improvement on cardiorenal function in these study population would be of great interest.
