BACKGROUND: Periodontitis is a periodontal inflammatory disease closely related to hypertension. However, the role of age and systemic inflammation is unclear. This study examined the effect of age and systemic inflammation on the association between severity of periodontitis and blood pressure in periodontitis patients. METHODS: This cross-sectional clinical study included periodontitis patients treated at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2020 to July 2023. Patients with periodontitis were included using inclusion and exclusion criteria, and data on basic information, blood pressure, periodontal examination indicators, and biochemical examination indicators were collected. Patients were grouped by blood pressure, and differences in basic information, blood indexes, and periodontal examination indexes between the two groups were compared by independent sample T-test. With PBOP as independent variables, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure as dependent variables, and several indexes as covariables, the relationship between them was studied by linear regression. The interaction was used to explore the relationship between age and systemic inflammation in periodontitis and hypertension. RESULTS: A total of 144 patients with periodontitis were enrolled. In fully adjusted analyses, the percentage of site with bleeding on probing (PBOP) was significantly associated with SBP (B = 10.08, p = 0.027) in the overall group. In patie...
