Aim The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) increases even in adolescents. The evidence that MetS is associated with the periodontal diseases in adolescents has been understudied. Therefore, our aim was to assess the association between MetS parameters and gingivitis in adolescents. Material and methods A total of 941 participants (590 boys, 351 girls), aged 12–18 years was selected from the Fourth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a cross‐sectional and nationally representative survey, which had had information on waist circumference, blood pressure, serum triglyceride, high‐density lipoprotein ( HDL ) cholesterol, and the fasting blood sugar and community periodontal Index ( CPI ). Results The number of positive parameters of MetS showed significant positive correlation with gingivitis; adjusted and crude OR s with one positive parameters of MetS were 1.92 (95% CI : 1.21–3.04) and 1.88(95% CI : 1.28–2.76), respectively. And adjusted OR with three or more positive parameters of MetS was 3.29 (95% CI : 1.24–8.71). Among five parameters of MetS, Low HDL ‐cholesterol showed significant association with gingivitis (crude OR 2.12, 95% CI 1.20–3.73; adjusted OR 1.96, 95% CI 1.24–3.12). Conclusions Having more positive parameters of MetS and low HDL ‐cholesterol parameter had an independent relationship with the prevalence of gingivitis, which may be determinants for the future periodontal diseases even in adolescents.
