A large global study in patients with coronary heart disease revealed that self-reported tooth loss was associated adverse cardiovascular outcomes and all-cause death independent of cardiovascular risk factors and socioeconomic status. The study included 15,456 patients from 39 countries with stable coronary heart disease. Patients reported number of teeth and were followed for 3.7 years. After adjusted for cardiovascular risk factors and socioeconomic status, tooth loss was associated with cardiovascular death, all-cause death and non-fatal or fatal stroke. The finding indicates that mechanisms leading to tooth loss, such as periodontal disease, may contribute to a worse prognosis in coronary heart disease. Source: http://cpr.sagepub.com/
对冠心病患者的一项大型国际研究发现，自我报告的牙齿缺失与不良心血管预后和全因死亡有关，独立于心血管危险因素和社会经济地位。该研究共纳入来自39个国家的15456例稳定型冠心病患者。患者报告了牙齿数，并随访3.7年。经校正心血管危险因素和社会经济地位后，牙齿脱落与心血管死亡，全因死亡和非致死性或致死性中风有关。该发现提示，导致牙齿脱落的机制，例如牙周病，可能使冠心病预后更差。来源：http://cpr.sagepub.com/
