Abstract

Background

This study was performed to assess the relationship between the consumption of coffee and periodontitis using nationally representative data.

Methods

The data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used; the analysis in this study was confined to a total of 16,730 respondents over 19 years old who had no missing values for the consumption of coffee or outcome variables. A community periodontal index greater than or equal to code 3 was defined as periodontal disease.

Results

Consumption of coffee was significantly higher in the individuals with periodontitis in males. The odds ratios of the percentage of individuals with periodontitis tended to increase with the consumption of coffee. Adjusted odds ratios and their 95% confidence intervals of the male participants were 1, 1.131(0.792–1.617), 1.161(0.857–1.573), 1.053(0.805–1.379), 1.299(1.007–1.676), and 1.458(1.141–1.862) for once per month or less, once per month<x≤3 times per week, three times per week<x≤6 times per week, once per day, twice per day, and three or more per day, respectively.

Conclusions

Consumption of coffee may be considered an independent risk indicator of periodontal disease in Korean male adults, and we suggest that the periodontal health of male may benefit from reduction of coffee consumption.

Introduction

Coffee is one of the most frequently consumed caffeine-containing beverages[1,2]. Coffee has been suggested to be associated with many health conditions, and coffee consumption has been historically linked to adversehealth effects[1]. Epidemiological studies suggested that consumption of boiled coffee was associated with elevated risk for cardiovascular disease[3]. Consumption of coffee, particularly instant coffee mix, may have harmful effects on metabolic syndrome[4]. Specific dietary patterns, which include coffee patterns, were reported to be independently associated with obesity[5]. However, the results of epidemiological research suggested that coffee consumption may help prevent several chronic diseases. Coffee intake was inversely associated with type 2 diabetes[6,7], and coffee consumption was associated with decreased insulin resistance[8]. Coffee drinking probably confers protection against alcohol-related increase in liver enzymes[9], and coffee consumption reduced the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma and colon ademomas[10,11].

One report showed a negative influence on bone metabolism, but another report demonstrated that coffee consumption showed no significant association with bone mineral density[12,13]. Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of periodontal tissue[14,15], and it is not only a local phenomenon but is also related with systemic conditions[16]. Thus, this study was performed to assess the relationship between the consumption of coffee and periodontitis using nationally representative data.

Materials and Methods

Overview of the survey and participants

The data used in this study were derived from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES), conducted between 2008 and 2010 by the Division of Chronic Disease Surveillance under the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare. The KNHANES is a nationwide survey of noninstitutionalized civilians who uses a stratified and multistage probability sampling design with a rolling survey sampling model[17]. The sampling units were based on the population and housing consensus from the 2005 National Census Registry in Korea, which includes age, gender, and geographic area. The sample weights were used to calculate all statistics of this survey. To represent the Korean population with sample participants, sample weights were created, considering survey nonresponse, complex survey design, and post-stratification[3].

Initially, a total of 29,235 individuals participated in the KNHANES survey. The 7,424 subjects aged < 30 were excluded, and the 3,681 participants without nutritional information were excluded. Among the remaining 17,058 patients, 1,072 subjects who had periodontitis with a community periodontal index (CPI) of 3 were selected. After removing 328 subjects who had missing parameters, 16,730 total subjects were included in this study. All of the participants received written informed consent. This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of the Korean Center for Disease Control and Prevention and conducted according to the Helsinki Declaration-based Ethical Principles for Medical Research Involving Human Subjects. The Institutional Review Board at the Catholic University of Korea approved this study.

Sociodemographic and lifestyle variables

All participants were asked about sociodemographic and lifestyle variables by trained interviewers. Consumption of coffee and carbonated beverages was calculated based on the survey. Education level was categorized into two groups according to whether or not the participant had graduated from high school. Monthly household income was divided into quartiles after adjusting for the number of family members. The lowest quartile included households with a monthly income < $1092.40 USD. The amount of pure alcohol consumed (in grams per day) was calculated using the average number of alcoholic beverages consumed and the frequency of alcohol consumption. The participants were divided into three groups depending on the amount of alcohol consumed per day: nondrinker, light-to-moderate drinker (1–30 g/day), and heavy drinker (> 30 g/day)[18]. Smoking status was categorized into three groups according to respondents’ answers on the self-report questionnaire: nonsmokers, ex-smokers, and current smokers[14]. Based on responses to the modified form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire for Koreans, individuals were regarded as regular physical exercisers if they performed moderate exercise more than five times per week for at least 30 minutes per session or performed vigorous exercise more than three times per week for at least 20 minutes per session[19]. Daily energy, fat, protein, and calcium intake were calculated based on the survey.

Anthropometric measurements

Anthropometric measurements were performed by trained staff members. Body weight and height were measured to the nearest 0.1 kg and 0.1 cm, respectively, with participants in light indoor clothing without shoes. Body mass index was calculated as body weight (kg) divided by the squared height (m2), and waist circumference was measured at the narrowest point between the lower border of the ribcage and the iliac crest in a standing position.

Biochemical measurements

The physical measurements of the participants were taken by trained staff members of the Division of Chronic Disease Surveillance under the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare.

A standard mercury sphygmomanometer (Baumanometer, W. A. Baum Co., Copiague, NY, USA) was used for blood pressure measurement. Systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were measured twice at five-minute intervals, and the average values were used for the analysis.

To measure concentrations of serum-fasting plasma glucose and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and white blood cell count, a blood sample was collected from the antecubital vein of each participant after fasting for more than eight hours. Blood samples were analyzed within 24 hours of transportation. Levels of serum-fasting plasma glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were measured with a Hitachi Automatic Analyzer 7600 (Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan) by enzymatic methods using commercially available kits (Daiichi, Tokyo, Japan)[20].

Description of metabolic syndrome and diabetes

Metabolic syndrome was defined according to the American Heart Association/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Scientific Statement criteria for Asians[21]. According to these criteria, three or more of the following criteria must be fulfilled to be diagnosed with metabolic syndrome: waist circumference ≥ 90 cm for men and ≥ 80 cm for women; fasting triglycerides ≥ 150 mg/dL or use of lipid-lowering medication; high-density lipoprotein cholesterol < 40 mg/dL in men and < 50 mg/dL in women or use of medication; blood pressure ≥ 130/85 mmHg or use of hypertension medication; and fasting blood glucose ≥ 100 mg/dL or current use of diabetes medication[22]. Diabetes is defined as fasting blood sugar greater than 126 mg/dL or when the individual was currently using anti-diabetic medications[23].

Periodontal treatment needs and oral health behaviors

Tooth brushing frequency and the use of secondary oral products were used as indicators of oral health behavior. The frequency of daily tooth brushing was calculated as the total number of times the teeth were brushed per day. Secondary oral products included dental floss, mouthwash, interdental brush, and electric toothbrush[24].

The World Health Organization community periodontal index (CPI) was used to assess periodontal treatment needs and defined periodontal disease as a CPI greater than or equal to code 3. A CPI score of code 3 indicates that at least one site had a > 3.5 mm pocket in the index teeth, which are 11, 16, 17, 26, 27, 31, 36, 37, 46, and 47 according to the Federation DentaireInternationale system. The mouth was divided into sextants. A CPI probe (PWHO, Osung MND, Seoul, South Korea) with a 0.5 mm ball tip was used. A sextant was examined only if there were two or more teeth present that were not scheduled for extraction. If no index teeth were present in a sextant qualifying for examination, all remaining teeth were examined and the highest score was recorded as the score for that sextant. An approximate 20-gram probing force was used. Trained and calibrated dentists examined the periodontal status of the participants. Chewing ability, speech, dental checkup within a year, and self-reported oral status were evaluated. The CPI score represented periodontitis status as follows: 0: normal, 1: gingival bleeding, 2: calculus, 3: a shallow pocket with depth of 3.5–5.5 mm or moderate periodontitis, and 4: a deep pocket depth ≥ 5.5 mm or severe periodontitis[25]. Dental checkup within the past year, self-reported oral status, chewing ability and speech, and were evaluated.

Statistical analyses

All data are presented as mean ± standard error or as a percentage (standard error). Logarithmic transformation was performed to achieve normal distribution when necessary. A student’s t-test or chi-square test was used to investigate the differences in the presence of periodontal treatment needs according to the variables. Multiple logistic regression analyses were used to assess the associations of periodontal treatment needs and consumption of carbonated beverages. The model was adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, smoking, drinking, exercise, metabolic syndrome, frequency of tooth brushing per day, use of secondary oral products, dental examination within a year, and consumption of beer and coffee. A survey procedure of a statistical software package (SAS version 9.2 for Windows, SAS Institute, Cary, NC, USA) was used for statistical analysis to account for the complex sampling design. Two-sided P values of < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.

Results

Table 1 describes the baseline characteristics of the study individuals according to the presence of periodontal treatment needs. The mean age, body mass index, and waist circumference were significantly higher in participants with periodontal diseasein both male and female. Consumption of coffee and consumption of carbonated beverage were significantly higher in the individuals with periodontitis in male. Use of secondary oral products was significantly lower in participants with periodontal disease.

Table 3 shows the adjusted odds ratios of periodontitis using the multivariate logistic regression model for consumption of coffee. Adjusted odds ratios and their 95% confidence intervals of the male participants were 1, 1.131(0.792–1.617), 1.161(0.857–1.573), 1.053(0.805–1.379), 1.299(1.007–1.676), and 1.458(1.141–1.862) for once per month or less, once per month<x≤3 times per week, three times per week<x≤6 times per week, once per day, twice per day, and three or more per day, respectively (P for trend < 0.05). Adjusted odds ratios and their 95% confidence intervals of the female participants were 1, 1.154(0.862–1.545), 0.951(0.750–1.205), 0.941(0.771–1.148), 1.034(0.825–1.296), and 1.265(0.969–1.65) for once per month or less, once per month<x≤3 times per week, three times per week<x≤6 times per week, once per day, twice per day, and three or more per day, respectively (P for trend > 0.05). The results show that consumption of coffee was positively associated with the risk of periodontal disease in Korean male adults.

Discussion

In the present study, the risk of periodontal disease was positively associated with consumption of coffee among Korean male adults. This association between consumption of carbonated beverages and periodontal disease was independent of various potential confounding factors such as age, body mass index, smoking, drinking, exercise, metabolic syndrome, frequency of tooth brushing per day, use of secondary oral products, consumption of carbonated beverage, and dental checkup within a year.

Limited numbers of studies have been performed regarding the effect of coffee consumption on periodontal disease[26,27,28,29,30,31,32] Previous study showed that heavy coffee consumption is associated with a significant increase in risk of fracture, osteoporosis, and periodontal disease[26]. The association between periodontitis and the common risk factors of coffee was confirmed in the previous research[27]. Another study showed that coffee consumption was independently associated with an increased prevalence of tooth loss[28]. The daily ingestion of coffee is shown to delay the alveolar bone reparative process after tooth extraction[29]. Conversely, some suggested that coffee consumption has no deleterious effects on periodontal health[30], and coffee did not stimulate bone loss in rats[26]. It was suggested that coffee consumption may be protective against periodontal bone loss in adult males[31]. An inverse association between coffee consumption (≥1 cup/day) and prevalence of severe periodontitis was found in the maintenance phase of periodontal treatment[32].

The different results for the association between the consumption of coffee and periodontitis may be partially explained by the following. Coffee contains complex chemicals, including carbohydrates, nitrogenous compounds, vitamins, minerals, and phenolic compounds[1,2]. Coffee is considered to contain a dietary source of antioxidants as well as of other anti-inflammatory factors[31]. Coffee is also known to contain several potential anticarcinogenic and chemopreventive compounds[10]. Unfiltered coffee is a significant source of cafestol and kahweol, which are diterpenes that have been implicated in the cholesterol-raising effects of coffee[33]. Coffee contains caffeine, which is the most widely consumed psychoactive substance in the world[34]. In the general population, the main contributors to the total caffeine intake were coffee for adults, and a cup of coffee is usually regarded to contain 70 to 100 mg/cup[33,35,36]. Caffeine is reported to exert multiple effects on bone metabolism[37], and chronic caffeine intake is one of the possible risk factors in the advancement of pathology in the periodontitis patient[38]. Caffeine is shown to increase bone loss and reduce bone healing after tooth extraction[12].

A previous report showed that 76% of the Korean subjects were habitual coffee drinkers, most of whom consumed instant coffee mix containing sugar and powder creamer[4]. Drinking coffee with sugar can be tooth-damaging[39], and the worst tooth loss occurred among the women who drank coffee sweetened with sugar or syrup[40]. The groups using sugar, other sweetening agents, or neither of these, mainly in coffee, differed significantly and the nonusers of sugar had lowest periodontal treatment time[41]. The previous report also showed that consumption of coffee, particularly instant coffee mix, may result in weight gain and insulin resistance and may have harmful effects on metabolic syndrome, perhaps partly deriving from excessive intake of sugar and powder creamer[4,42]. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that the risk of diabetes progression was lowest in patients who drank black coffee three or more times per day[43]. The instant coffee mix that contains nondairy creamer and/or sugar may have offset the potential benefit of coffee[42].

The major strength of our study is the large, nationally representative sample of adult Koreans[44]. Second, the natural teeth numbers and oral condition were objectively assessed by dentists using the same criteria, and several confounding variables were precisely recorded by well-trained examiners[45]. However, there are some limitations in the design of this study. This study is cross-sectional, and the exposure and outcome are measured at the same time, making their interrelated sequences unknown[14]. This study uses partial-mouth recording protocols of CPI, and partial-mouth recording protocols may underestimate the prevalence of periodontal disease[18]. The information regarding the coffee consumption was derived from the survey with frequency questionnaires and disparities that may exist between data details and the actual history[42].

The results showed that consumption of coffee was positively associated with the risk of periodontal disease in Korean male adults. In conclusion, consumption of coffee may be considered an independent risk indicator of periodontal disease in Korean male adults, and we suggest that the periodontal health of male individuals may benefit from the reduction of coffee consumption.
