AbstractBackground & Aims

Chronic liver disease is a major health concern worldwide and the identification of novel modifiable risk factors may benefit subjects at risk. Few studies have analyzed periodontitis as a risk factor for liver complications. We studied whether periodontitis is associated with incident severe liver disease.

Methods

The study comprised 6165 individuals without baseline liver disease who participated in the Finnish population‐based Health 2000 Survey (BRIF8901) during 2000‐2001, a nationally representative cohort. Follow‐up was until 2013 for liver‐related admissions, liver cancer and mortality from National Hospital Discharge, Finnish Cancer Registry and Causes of Death Register, Statistics Finland. Mild to moderate periodontitis was defined as ≥1 tooth with periodontal pocket ≥4 mm deep, and advanced periodontitis as ≥5 teeth with such pockets. Multiple confounders were considered.

Results

A total of 79 subjects experienced a severe liver event during follow‐up. When adjusted for age, sex and number of teeth, hazards ratios by Cox regression regarding incident severe liver disease were, for mild to moderate periodontitis, 2.12 (95% CI 0.98‐4.58), and, for advanced periodontitis, 3.69 (95% CI 1.79‐7.60). These risk estimates remained stable after additionally adjusting for alcohol use, smoking, metabolic risk, serum gamma‐glutamyltransferase, dental‐care habits, lifestyle and socioeconomic status. Periodontal disease‐associated liver risk was accentuated among subjects with non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease or heavy alcohol use at baseline.

Conclusions

Periodontitis was associated with incident liver disease in the general population independently of various confounders. As a preventable disease, periodontal disease might present a modifiable risk factor for chronic liver disease.
