Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between periodontal disease, diabetes and chewing problems in Korean adults over the age of 19 using the 6th National Health Nutrition Survey. Methods: Data from the 6th National Health and Nutrition Survey (Ministry of Health & Welfare, 2013; 2014; 2015) were used. In this study, 17,101 adults aged 19 and older were included in the study to determine the relationship between diabetes and chewing problems in Korean adults. Results: Diabetes and chewing problems have been associated with periodontal disease. Diabetes was 0.719 times lower(p<0.001) in periodontal disease than in the case of diabetes. Chewing problem was 1.360 times(p<0.001) periodontal disease prevalence compared to ‘not at all uncomfortable’. It was found that the prevalence of periodontal disease was 2.139 times(p<0.001) compared to ‘not at all uncomfortable’. It was found that the prevalence of periodontal disease was 2.296 times higher(p<0.001) compared to ‘not at all uncomfortable’. It was found that the prevalence of periodontal disease was 2.119 times higher(p<0.001) compared to ‘not at all uncomfortable’. Conclusion: Diabetes and chewing problems were found to be related to periodontal disease, and as reported in previous studies, diabetes and chewing problems related to oral disease need to be prevented and treated with regular checkups. In addition, based on the research results, it can be used as basic data for the health business plan that can maintain and manage health.
