Résumé

Contexte : Un nombre croissant de preuves suggère une relation entre les maladies parodontales et les maladies systémiques non-transmissibles avec une augmentation de la prévalence dans les pays en développement, Nigéria compris.
Objectifs : Déterminer l'état parodontal et son association avec l'hypertension parmi le personnel non-médical dans un hôpital universitaire au Nigéria.
Méthodes : Une étude transversale a été menée parmi le personnel non-médical, à l'aide de questionnaires auto-administrés et examen clinique parodontal entre juillet et août 2013. L'analyse multivariée a été explorée pour déterminer les variables indépendantes associées à l'hypertension. Les valeurs de P 0,05 < étaient considérés comme statistiquement significatives.
Résultats : Un total de 276 sujets a été enrôlé dans l'étude. Les poches peu profondes (code 3 du CPI) constituaient la maladie parodontale prédominante (46,7%), le tartre (code de CPI 2) 46%, le saignement des gencives (code 1 du CPI), à 3,3% et les poches profondes ≥ 6mm (code 4 du CPI) 2,2%. L'hypertension était l'état de santé auto-déclaré le plus répandu (18,1%) et se trouvait associé à la parodontite, à l'âge croissant, au faible niveau d'éducation et des antécédents familiaux d'hypertension.
Conclusion : La maladie parodontale avait une grande prévalence dans cette étude. L'hypertension auto-déclarée est associée à la parodontite, à l'âge avancé, au faible niveau d'éducation et aux antécédents familiaux d'hypertension. Un examen parodontal périodique et régulier ainsi qu'une évaluation artérielle du personnel non-médical est recommandée.

Abstract
Periodontal status and its association with self-reported hypertension in non-medical staff in a university teaching hospital in Nigeria

p>Background: A growing body of evidence suggests a relationship between periodontal disease and non-communicable systemic diseases with rising prevalence in developing countries, Nigeria inclusive.
Objectives: To determine the periodontal status and its association with self-reported hypertension among non-medical staff in a university teaching hospital in Nigeria.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among non-medical staff using self-administered questionnaires and periodontal clinical examination between July and August 2013. Multivariate analysis was explored to determine the independent variables associated with self-reported hypertension. P values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Results: A total of 276 subjects were enrolled into the study. Shallow pockets (CPI code 3) constituted the predominant periodontal disease (46.7%), calculus (CPI code 2) 46%, bleeding gingiva (CPI code 1) in 3.3% and deep pockets ≥ 6mm (CPI code 4) in 2.2%. Self-reported hypertension was the most prevalent self-reported medical condition (18.1%) and found to be associated with periodontitis, increasing age, lower education, and a positive family history of hypertension.
Conclusion: Periodontal disease was highly prevalent in this study. Self-reported hypertension was associated with periodontitis, older age, lower education and a positive family history. Periodic periodontal examination and regular blood pressure assessment for non-medical staff is recommended.
