Potential Link Between Obesity And Periodontal Disease

That fat people have hygiene issues is well-known.

"The team observed significant associations between all measures of obesity and periodontal disease when accounting for age, smoking, race, dental profession, physical activity, fruit and vegetable intake, and diabetes status at baseline...

These results provide the first evidence following a large group of people over time with clear evidence of obesity occurring prior to periodontal disease, and support an association between obesity and risk of periodontal disease."

Too bad, the fat can still get their Calories without having to chew.

Kudos, stink-o fatsos.
