An interventional study of Baduanjin training/exercise in Chronic Periodontal Disease, sponsored by Cairo University. Status unknown at 1 site in Egypt. Open to participants aged 65 Years to 75 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-12-23.

The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a spectrum of conditions that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus. The components of MetS include dysglycemia, visceral obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia (elevated triglycerides and low levels of high-density lipoprotein) and hypertension. An association of periodontal disease and MetS has been suggested. This association is believed to be the result of systemic oxidative stress and an exuberant inflammatory response.
Physical activity is associated as a potential tool for reduction of periodontal disease prevalence. The frequency of physical activity is directly related to a low occurrence of periodontitis.
For 6 months, MeTS elderly (25 elderly) with chronic periodontal disease will be involved in sixty-minute Baduanjin physical training (5 session weekly). Also, for 6 months, another MeTS elderly (25 elderly) with chronic periodontal disease will serve as a control non-trained group.
386 studies on the registry are indexed under Chronic Periodontitis; 23 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 50 is close to the median of 46 across 314 interventional studies indexed under Chronic Periodontitis.
