Syfte: Syftet med studien var att se om det fanns en correlation mellan AAA och kronisk parodontit med hjälp av en enkät.Material och metod: Män som har undergått screening hos Kärlcentrum vid Skånes Universitetssjukhus i Malmö erbjöds deltagande i studien via telefon. Enkäten som användes formulerades främst med frågor från studien i Self-reported measures for Surveillance of Periodontitis (Eke et al. 2013). Frågor om individens tobaksvanor, om den led av andra sjukdomar, och mediciner lades till som en del av denna studie. Insamlad data analyserades med IBM SPSS Statistics 25 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA. Ingen normalfördelning antogsför analyserna. Värdena bearbetades med Mann-Whitney U test och χ2-test.P-värden < 0.05 togs som statistiskt signifikanta.Resultat: Totalt kontaktades 300 individer, varav 65 (21.7%) inkluderades i studien. Av dessa var 42 (64.6 %) individer i kontrollgruppen medans 23 (35.4%) ingick i AAA-gruppen.Bennedbrytning förekom oftare i AAA gruppen (37.9%) jämfört med kontrollgruppen (11.9%) (p=0.010)Slutsats: En svag länk mellan kronisk parodontit och AAA kan föreslås i detta skede, dock behövs fler studier med större kohort och om möjligt en kliniskt verifierad parodontal diagnos för att med säkerthet bekräfta denna potentiella länken / Aim: The aim of this study was to find if there is a correlation between AAA and chronic periodontitis in regards to their relation with the help of a questionnaire. Material and methods: Men that have undergone screening in the Vascular Centre at Skånes University Hospital in Malmö, Sweden were invited to participate in this study via telephone. The questionnaire was formulated mainly with questions from the study conducted in Self-reported measures for Surveillance of Periodontitis (Eke et al. 2013). Questions asking the respondents about tobacco habits, if they suffered other diseases, medication, and more were added as part of this study. Captured data was analysed using IBM SPSS Statistics 25 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Normal distribution was not assumed for the analyses. Values were processed with Mann-Whitney U test and χ2-test. P-value < 0.05 was accepted as statistically significant Results: A total of 300 individuals were contacted, of which 65 (21.7%) were included in the study. Of these, 42 (64.6 %) were controls and 23 (35.4 %) had AAA. Bone loss was more commonly present in AAA group (37.9%) versus control (11.9%) (p= 0.010)Conclusion: A weak link between chronic periodontitis and AAA may be suggested, however more studies with larger cohorts and potentially clinically verified periodontitis diagnosis, are necessary to establish this potential link more firmly.
