[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS mI7R0xAy. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. We investigated the relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and abnormal periodontal conditions. Methods. Data from the first phase of the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used. A total of 4504 participants aged 20 to 59 years who completed a periodontal examination and tested positive for H. pylori antibodies were examined. Results. Periodontal pockets with a depth of 5 mm or more were associated with increased odds of H. pylori seropositivity (odds ratio [OR]=1.47 ; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.12,1.94) after adjustment for sociodemographic factors. This association is comparable to the independent effects of poverty on H. pylori (OR=1.54 ; 95% CI=1.10,2.16). Conclusions. Poor periodontal health, characterized by advanced periodontal pockets, may be associated with H. pylori infection in adults, independent of poverty status.
