Sneha Suresh, Anshuman Gautam

Abstract :

AIM: Aim of this study was to see if there was a correlation of exercising among the people in Patna as majority of the population in the cities have a more sedentary life style. METHOD: A total of fifty subjects were selected aged between 35 and 60 years who have been exercising or not exercising since more than two years (consistently). Questionnaires were distributed among the participants regarding the frequency and level of exercising. The fifty participants were then divided into two groups –the ones who exercise and the ones who do not exercise. Full mouth periodontal examination was carried out for all the participants. RESULT: It has been observed that the group that exercises had a lower prevalence of chronic periodontitis than the group that does not exercise. However, the mechanism by which this may occur has still not been clearly explained. More studies for the same have to be carried out in the future.
