Ryan Demmer, an aggregate professor at the University of Minnesota Public Health School who co-wrote the study,explained the process of his team CNN. "We have examined people's dental health over a period of 20 years and found that people with the most severe gum disease at the beginning of our study were about twice the risk ofLight cognitive impairment Or dementia in the end, "he says.
Although the risk itself is apparent, researchers always have unanswered questions aboutHow? 'Or' What Its oral health could lead to such a potentially seriousNeurological symptoms. "My basic hypothesis is that bacteria in the mouth that cause periodontal disease are also a cause of systemic results," said Demmer, referring to the full range of health conditions associated with poor oral health. Going through this theory, periodontal disease is not exactly the fundamental cause, but another disease caused by bacterial accumulation that also causes other evils.
The team also suggested an alternative theory: this condition asheart disease, diabetes and cerebral serve as intermediaries for the development of dementia (ALink between dementia and these conditions has been demonstrated in previous studies).
