ABSTRACT
Abstract Both diabetes and periodontal disease are prevalent in China. Poor oral hygiene practice is the major cause of disease. An association between blood glucose level was reported individuals with diabetes, but not general population. We examined a population-based random survey recruiting 2,105 adults without previously diagnosed Chongqing city, Plasma hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) were measured, 2-hour tolerance test conducted for each respondent. Self-reported toothbrushing frequency used as proxy practice. In linear model controlling potential confounders (demographic characteristics, socio-economic status, lifestyle risk factors, BMI, dental visit frequency, etc.), urban residents who barely brushed their teeth had an increase 0.50 (95% CI: 0.10–0.90) mmol/L fasting plasma glucose, 0.26% (0.04–0.47%) HbA1c, relative to those brushing ≥twice daily; rural residents, effects 0.26 (0.05–0.48) 0.20% (0.09–0.31%) HbA1c. Individuals better tended have lower Establishing good health behavioral habits may be conducive prevention control
