The aim of this study was to (a) explore the association between periodontal inflammation and markers of systemic inflammation and metabolic health, and (b) preliminarily assess periodontal status based on systemic health indicators using machine learning techniques.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Data from a cross\u2010sectional cohort (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009667) were modelled (simple\/multiple linear, fractional polynomial, logistic and random forest regression) to examine the association between systemic and periodontal measures. Three classifiers\u2014random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM) and gradient boosting (GB)\u2014were used using periodontal inflamed surface area (PISA) and demographic and anthropometric variables (age, gender, ethnicity, body mass index [BMI] and smoking habits) as inputs to predict systemic inflammation (defined using serum C\u2010reactive protein [CRP] levels). The best performing classification models (evaluated using area under the curve, AUC analyses) were validated using a second nationally representative dataset from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) 2001\u20132002 and 2003\u20132004 combined datasets (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20092288). Next, RF, SVM and GB were employed incorporating a set of systemic parameters (including serum CRP and lipid profiles) to predict the diagnosis of periodontitis. The best performing classification models were then validated using the NHANES 2009\u20132010 (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009664) dataset.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A nonlinear trend of CRP levels and PISA was confirmed by fractional polynomial regression (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.008). Further, multiple linear regression analyses (adjusted for age, gender, ethnicity, BMI and smoking habits) confirmed a statistically significant relationship between log\u2010transformed CRP levels and PISA (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001). Logistic regression confirmed a relationship between PISA and low\u2010density lipoprotein (LDL) in both crude and adjusted models. Among the classification models, SVM showed the highest performance in distinguishing CRP &lt;\u20092\u2009mg\/L from CRP \u2265\u20092\u2009mg\/L (AUC\u2009=\u20090.71). The SVM model was successfully replicated in the NHANES 2001\u20132002 and 2003\u20132004 waves (AUC\u2009=\u20090.74). Prediction of periodontitis status (case vs. control) based on systemic indicators using the SVM model achieved the best performance with a mean AUC of 0.82. This was partially confirmed after external validation using the 2009\u20132010 NHANES dataset (AUC of 0.72).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study confirmed a consistent relationship between measures of cumulative periodontal inflammation and systemic inflammation through machine learning models. A predictive model incorporating systemic health parameters helped in identifying a case with periodontitis. Both models have potential for use in primary healthcare settings, including screening programmes, as providing confirmation of the bidirectional link between periodontitis and systemic health.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jcpe.70000","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,24]],"date-time":"2025-07-24T02:24:39Z","timestamp":1753323879000},"page":"1466-1477","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["The Association of Periodontal Inflammation and Systemic Health Indicators: A Machine Learning Approach"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"52","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-3135-9943","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yumeng","family":"Yan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Periodontology Unit, UCL Eastman Dental Institute  London UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6435-4842","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Praveen","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Periodontal Research Group, School of Dentistry, Institute of Clinical Sciences University of Birmingham  Birmingham UK"},{"name":"National Institute for Health Research, Birmingham Biomedical Research Centre  Birmingham UK"},{"name":"Birmingham Dental Hospital, Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust  Birmingham UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6526-6235","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jeanie","family":"Suvan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oral Sciences, University of Glasgow Dental School, School of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing, College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences University of Glasgow  Glasgow UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8654-935X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francesco","family":"D'Aiuto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Periodontology Unit, UCL Eastman Dental Institute  London UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2019.03.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/0471725153"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","first-page":"281","article-title":"Random Search for Hyper\u2010Parameter Optimization","volume":"13","author":"Bergstra J.","year":"2012","journal-title":"Journal of Machine Learning Research"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.0000141564.89465.4E"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.98.Supplement_1.S95"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600\u20100757.2011.00416.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/JPER.21\u20100111"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/biom11060875"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.2517\u20106161.1964.tb00553.x"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_11_11_1","first-page":"125","article-title":"Periodontal Variables May Predict Sub\u2010Clinical Atherosclerosis and Systemic Inflammation in Young Adults.
