Release date: 2014-05-04

Recently, in a research paper published in the international magazine General Hospital Psychiatry , researchers from Deakin University in Australia have revealed the relationship between poor dental health and depression.

In the article, the researchers conducted a comprehensive health survey of 10,000 individuals living in the United States between the ages of 20 and 75. The researchers found that poor individual teeth health would increase the likelihood of depression. Researcher Adrienne O'Neil said that we not only found a relationship between dental health and depression, but we also clarified that there is a dose-effect relationship between the two, and perhaps other factors can explain the relationship between the two. For example, BMI index or CRP protein, which is an indicator protein used to indicate the body's inflammatory properties.

Depression is considered to be an inflammatory disorder. The inflammatory is mainly caused by poor eating habits, overweight or other physical disorders. Of course, poor dental health is also a source of inflammation. Previous researchers have not investigated it. The association with mental health, so the researchers analyzed the study data and found that two-thirds of the participants had depression (about 61%), and these patients have been in the past 1 year or half a year. Alcohol abuse habits (57.4%).

Professor O'Neil said that the relationship between poor dental health and depression is not clear, although the research in this paper reveals the relationship between the two, but later research researchers may focus on bacteria that affect oral health. The intrinsic relationship between the onset of depression and the onset of depression. This is a very innovative study. If poor dental health is a risk factor for depression, it is critical for doctors to guide the habits of people with depression.
