New study links chronic kidney disease to increased tooth loss risk in postmenopausal women, highlighting the importance of managing kidney and oral health.

The Interconnected Health Impacts of Kidney Disease and Tooth Loss
A woman’s glomerular filtration rate (GFR) indicates how well her kidneys are functioning. After menopause, kidney function tends to decline, partly due to decreasing levels of reproductive hormones. These hormonal changes can also lead to abdominal obesity, which is an independent risk factor for developing chronic kidney disease and is associated with an increased risk of tooth loss.
Tooth Loss – A Risk Factor for Dementia
Dementia and Oral Health: The affinity between the number of teeth missing and the diminishing cognitive function strengthens the evidence linking tooth loss to dementia risk.

The consequences of kidney disease are numerous, including an increased probability of experiencing problems with bone and cardiovascular health. Tooth loss, which reflects oral health status, is also associated with systemic diseases, such as diabetes, thyroid disease, and osteoporosis, and is independently associated with an increased risk of stroke. Excessive tooth loss can also impair chewing and speech. The Link Between Kidney Function and Tooth Count in Postmenopausal Women
Previous studies have identified an association between kidney function and tooth count. This newest study involving nearly 65,000 participants, however, is the first known to evaluate the association between chronic kidney disease and tooth loss in postmenopausal women across the ages. It concluded that the glomerular filtration rate, a measure of kidney function, is significantly associated with having at least 20 (of a total of 28) adult teeth, suggesting that chronic kidney disease and tooth loss are significantly associated, especially in postmenopausal women aged 66 to 79 years.These findings suggest that preventing and managing mineral and bone metabolism disorders in postmenopausal women with chronic kidney disease are crucial to prevent tooth loss. It is also important to address kidney disease progression, as the consequences affect multiple body systems beyond just oral health.
Tooth Loss May Up High Blood Pressure Risk in Postmenopausal Women
Postmenopausal women who suffer from tooth loss are more likely to develop high blood pressure (hypertension), reveals a new study.

“This study highlights the known link between chronic kidney disease and bone metabolism. Increased attention to oral and bone health is warranted in postmenopausal women with chronic kidney disease, in addition to meticulous efforts aimed at preserving kidney function. Conversely, oral health is a window to overall health, and good oral hygiene is important for women of all ages,” says Dr. Stephanie Faubion, medical director for The Menopause Society.
