Brief description of study.

The aim of this study is to investigate whether there is an association between Hemoglobin A1c, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, weight and Body Mass Index values in diabetic patients and the extent of periodontal destruction over a 10 year time period.

Detailed description of study

The aim of this study is to investigate whether there is an association between Hemoglobin A1c, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, weight and Body Mass Index values in diabetic patients and the extent of periodontal destruction over a 10 year time period.

Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: Diabetes
  • Age: 100 years or below
  • Gender: All

This study investigates the connection between certain health factors in diabetic patients and gum health. Specifically, it looks at Hemoglobin A1c, which is a measure of blood sugar levels over time, HDL and LDL cholesterol, which are types of fat in the blood, weight, and Body Mass Index (BMI) to see if they relate to periodontal destruction, which is damage to the gums and bones that support teeth.

Participants will undergo assessments to measure their Hemoglobin A1c, cholesterol levels, weight, and BMI. These measurements will be used to determine if there is a link to the health of their gums over a ten-year period.

  • Who can participate: Eligibility criteria are not specified in the study description.
  • Study details: Participants will have their Hemoglobin A1c, cholesterol levels, weight, and BMI measured to explore their relationship with gum health.
