Abstract: PURPOSE: To identify the relationship between hyperglycemia levels and periodontitis by investigating the levels of hyperglycemia and periodontal conditions of officeholders in Nantong city. METHODS: From January 2013 to January 2014, 545 officeholders were randomly selected in Nantong City who underwent physical examination and divided into 2 groups: young of middle-aged adults(≤60 years) and old adults(>60 years). The data was analyzed with Chi-square test and multi-factors logistic regression by using SPSS 16.0 software package. RESULTS: There was a significant correlation between blood glucose levels and periodontitis. Multi-factor Logistic regression analysis showed that in the whole population, smoking, age, blood glucose levels were significantly correlated with the degree of periodontitis (P<0.05). Smoking and low level of education were associated with periodontitis in young and middle-aged adults. In old people, blood glucose level more than 7.0 mmol/L and smoking were the risk factors for periodontitis. CONCLUSIONS: Hyperglycemia level is risk factor for periodontitis, which has an effect mainly on old adults.
