Gum health could be a risk factor for dementia, study suggests

Updated July 29, 2020

Anyone who has had gum disease is probably familiar with the discomfort and embarrassment of poor oral health, such as bad breath, bleeding, discolored teeth and even tooth loss.

任何患有牙龈疾病的人都可能熟悉口腔健康不佳的不适和尴尬，例如口臭、出血、牙齿变色甚至牙齿脱落。

But gum disease, especially the more advanced type known as periodontal disease, can affect far more than our mouths. Periodontal disease is associated with a wide range of health conditions, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes and dementia, making the reduced access to dental care during the coronavirus pandemic a significant concern, dentists say.

但牙龈疾病，尤其是更为严重的牙周病，其影响远远超过我们的口腔。牙医说，牙周病与许多健康状况有关，包括心脏病、中风、糖尿病和痴呆症，这使得在冠状病毒大流行期间牙科护理的机会减少成为一个重大问题。

A new study published Wednesday in Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology, has added to that body of knowledge. There is a link between stages of periodontal disease, which can ultimately cause tooth and bone loss, and mild cognitive impairment and dementia 20 years later, the study found.

美国神经病学学会的医学杂志《神经学》周三发表的一项新研究增加了这方面的知识。研究发现，牙周病的各个阶段与20年后轻度认知障碍和痴呆症之间存在联系，牙周病最终会导致牙齿脱落和骨质疏松。

"We looked at people's dental health over a 20-year period and found that people with the most severe gum disease at the start of our study had about twice the risk for mild cognitive impairment or dementia by the end," said study author Ryan Demmer, an associate professor at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health in Minneapolis.

明尼阿波利斯明尼苏达大学公共卫生学院副教授、研究报告作者瑞安·德默（Ryan Demmer）说：“我们研究了20年来人们的牙齿健康状况，发现在我们研究之初患有最严重牙龈疾病的人到最后患轻度认知障碍或痴呆症的风险大约是其他人的两倍。”
