Characteristics of Subjects: Healthy, PD, and PD/T2D.
| Total | Healthy | PD | PD/T2D | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Patients, n | 40 | 5 | 26 | 9 |
| Male | 20 | 2 | 10 | 8a |
| Female | 20 | 3 | 16 | 1 |
| Mean ± SD | ||||
| Probing depth, mm | 2.6 ± 0.55b | 6.7 ± 2.4 | 8.2 ± 2.0 | |
| Body mass index | 24 ± 4.0 | 25 ± 3.4 | 30 ± 3.9a | |
| Age, y | 35 ± 6.3b | 49 ± 11 | 53 ± 4.7 |
Differences all achieved significance of P < 0.01 as calculated by 1-way analysis of variance. Cells from healthy subjects were used for flow cytometric analyses only, and all PD and PD/T2D samples were used for enzyme-linked immunospot assay.
PD, periodontitis only; PD/T2D, type 2 diabetes–potentiated periodontitis.
a
Values differed from healthy and PD.
b
Values differed from PD and PD/T2D.
