Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Weight For Gums Gum disease in older adults has been linked with unhealthy weight loss, according to a recent study conducted at the Univ. of Pittsburgh. The researchers examined the association between gum disease and weight loss over a two-year period. They defined the severity of periodontal disease in terms of pocket depth and attachment loss, the extent of bleeding on probing, and gingival inflammation.
