Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the intakes of some kinds of vitamins and minerals are associated with periodontitis in a nationally representative sample of young adults. This study comprised 2049 young adults aged 19–39 years who took both periodontal examination and nutrition survey. The vitamin and mineral intakes were calculated from dietary intake data gained by complete one-day 24-h recall interviews, and the intake levels for each nutrient were classified by the Recommended Nutrient Intake (RNI) in Dietary Reference Intakes for Koreans and median values. Periodontitis was assessed using Community Periodontal Index (CPI). Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed in a whole sample and subgroups with the strata of gender or smoking, following a complex sampling design. In analyses according to RNI, a lower intake of niacin was significantly associated with periodontitis in young adults (odd ratio [OR] 1.47, 95% confidential interval [CI] 1.09–2.00) and in its subgroup of women (OR 1.70; 95% CI 1.10–2.64) and current non-smokers (OR 1.75; 95% CI 1.22–2.51). Whereas, in analyses according to median intake values, there were significant associations of periodontitis with a lower intake of niacin in women (OR 1.58; 95% CI 1.02–2.46) and current non-smokers (OR 1.50; 95% CI 1.01–2.22), with lower intake of vitamin C in women (OR 1.66; 95% CI 1.04–2.64) and in current non-smokers (OR 1.49; 95% CI 1.04–2.14), with lower intake of iron in women (OR 1.85; 95% CI 1.11–3.07), and with lower intake of vitamin A marginally in women (OR 1.56; 95% CI 1.00–2.44). In young adults, periodonitis is significantly associated with the lower intakes of niacin, vitamin C, and iron, especially in women and current non-smokers.
