Clinical, periodontal, and anthropometric measurements were recorded. CatS levels in GCF and saliva were quantified using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. NSPT was performed in the periodontitis groups, and clinical and biochemical parameters were re-evaluated after 3 months.\nResults: GCF and salivary CatS levels were highest in the obese periodontitis group and lowest in the nonobese periodontal health group (p &lt; 0.001). Regression analysis revealed a significant positive association between body mass index (BMI), GCF, salivary CatS levels, and plaque index (p &lt; 0.05). Significant positive correlations were observed between BMI and CatS levels, as well as between CatS levels and clinical periodontal parameters (p &lt; 0.001). Following NSPT, both periodontitis groups exhibited significant clinical and biochemical improvement (p &lt; 0.05). However, reductions in bleeding on probing, probing pocket depth, clinical attachment loss, and salivary CatS levels were significantly greater in the nonobese periodontitis group than in the obese group (p &lt; 0.001).\nConclusion: Periodontitis and obesity are associated with elevated CatS levels in GCF and saliva. Obesity may negatively impact clinical responses to NSPT. CatS could serve as a potential biomarker linking obesity to periodontitis and NSPT outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2340\/aos.v84.45208","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,29]],"date-time":"2025-12-29T08:05:28Z","timestamp":1766995528000},"page":"644-653","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Obesity and cathepsin S in periodontal health and disease: A prospective clinical observational study"],"prefix":"10.2340","volume":"84","author":[{"given":"Ali Batuhan","family":"Bay\u0131rl\u0131","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mehmetcan","family":"Uytun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u0130smail","family":"K\u0131rl\u0131","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fulden Canta\u015f","family":"T\u00fcrki\u015f","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ercan","family":"Saruhan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"H.
