We examined how the status of periodontal tissue affected general health. The subjects were 965 people with a mean age of 38 years who received both dental and medical examinations in 2004. The Periodontal status was evaluated using the community periodontal index (CPI), and their medical condition was determined by blood pressure, body mass index, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, arteriosclerosis index and blood glucose level. The results suggested that the periodontal health status of CPI code 0 indicates that periodontal health has not affected general health.
