❤️🪥 Association between Toothbrushing and Cardiovascular Risk Factors 🪥❤️ As we reflect on yesterday’s World Heart Day, Sunstar would like to emphasize the strong connection between cardiovascular disease and oral health. A recent survey of 13,761 adults has provided new epidemiological evidence supporting this important link. 🧐 How was the study conducted? Researchers compared conventional cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, etc.) and inflammatory markers with participants' self-reported toothbrushing habits. ❓What did the study find? 🔹A 13.7% estimated 10-year risk for a first atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) was found for participants who brushed 0 to once per day. 🔹A 9.1% estimated risk for participants who brushed twice a day. 🔹A 7.3% estimated risk for participants who brushed three times a day or more. While the relationship between toothbrushing frequency and conventional cardiovascular risk factors was partly due to participants with good oral hygiene also having better lifestyle habits (such as not smoking, being physically active, and maintaining a healthy diet), the connection between oral hygiene and inflammatory markers remained significant, even after controlling for these factors. 💡 What’s the takeaway? Good oral hygiene reduces the oral microbial burden, preventing it from becoming dysbiotic and causing periodontitis. Periodontitis is associated with higher levels of systemic inflammation, and periodontal treatment helps lower this inflammatory burden. As inflammation plays a key role in the development of vascular diseases, maintaining oral health is closely tied to vascular health. ➡️ This study adds further evidence that maintaining good oral hygiene supports a healthier cardiovascular risk profile by reducing overall systemic inflammation. At Sunstar, we are passionate about promoting a healthy body through a healthy mouth. Remember: Take care of your gums, take care of your heart. ❤️ 📄 Full paper: https://lnkd.in/d4vTaZUc #OralHealth #Dentistry #WorldHeartDay
