Summary

The goal of this observational study is to examine the relationship between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and periodontitis, and to evaluate the role of the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) in this association. The main question it aims to answer is: Does a pro-inflammatory diet, as measured by the DII, increase the risk or severity of periodontitis in individuals with metabolic syndrome? Participants will include adults who meet the diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome. Their periodontal health will be assessed through standard clinical parameters, and dietary data will be collected using a validated food frequency questionnaire to calculate individual DII scores. The study will observe and analyze these factors to explore potential links between diet-induced inflammation, systemic metabolic health, and periodontal outcomes.

Detailed description

This study aims to investigate the potential relationship between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and periodontitis, and to evaluate this association through the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII), which reflects the inflammatory potential of diet. Periodontal status will be assessed using clinical parameters (plaque index, probing pocket depth, clinical attachment loss, and gingival bleeding). MetS diagnosis will be based on criteria such as waist circumference, fasting glucose level, serum triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, and blood pressure. Dietary habits of participants will be analyzed using a validated food frequency questionnaire, and individual DII scores will be calculated. The data obtained will be used to evaluate the effects of dietary inflammatory load on systemic metabolic parameters and periodontal health. This study will aim to provide scientific evidence on the role of anti-inflammatory dietary strategies in periodontal and metabolic health.
