A healthy mouth helps to maintain balanced metabolic profiles
Common oral infections, periodontal diseases and caries, are associated with inflammatory metabolic profiles related to an increased risk of cardiometabolic diseases, a new study by an international team of researchers suggests. Oral infections also predicted future adverse changes in metabolic profiles.The association between oral infections and adverse metabolic profiles was observed in the Finnish Health 2000/2011 and Parogene study cohorts. “The observation is novel, since there are only few studies connecting extensive metabolic measures with oral infections, and no earlier
