Upper body obesity, related to visceral fat accumulation, is known to increase the risk of various adult diseases, especially type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. This study was conducted to clarify the relationship between upper body obesity and periodontitis. We studied 643 apparently healthy, dentulous Japanese adults who attended programs at Fukuoka Health Promotion Center. Waist-hip ratio, body-mass index (BMI), and body fat were significant risk indicators for periodontitis after adjustment for known risk factors (p < 0.002). Subjects were divided into four BMI (or body fat) categories. In only the subjects with high waist-hip ratio, higher categories of BMI (or body fat) significantly increased the adjusted risk of periodontitis, compared with subjects with low waist-hip ratios and the lowest category of BMI (or body fat). The reported relationship between cardiovascular disease and periodontitis should be reconsidered, since abdominal adiposity or visceral fat can be related to both diseases.
