简要总结
Vitamin D has been considered to possess anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activity which may be a link for the known interaction of Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) and coronary heart disease (CHD). This study investigated the association between serum vitamin D levels and SSc and periodontitis in patients with SSc, CP and with CHD.
Furthermore, the objective was to determine if periodontitis and CHD had an impact on serum vitamin D levels.
详细描述
Using a cross-sectional design, a total of 42 patients with SSc, 43 patients with CHD, 41 patients with both SSc and CP, and 42 healthy patients were enrolled in the present study.
