Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of a 4-week weight control program on periodontal (gum) health.

Who can participate?
Obese individuals in their twenties.

What does the study involve?
Participants stayed in the camp under surveillance for two hours of aerobic exercise, three hours of weight training, and a low salt, low fat diet. They were not allowed to have any private foods or drinks except water. We examined their dental plaque at the start and end of the study. We made no attempt to change the participants' toothbrushing method or frequency so as not to affect gum inflammation during the study.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Not provided at time of registration.

Where is the study run from?
Konyang University (South Korea).

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
September 2009 to June 2012.

Who is funding the study?
National Research Foundation of Korea (South Korea).

Who is the main contact?
Dr Soo-Jeong Hwang

Scientific titleChange of MMP-8, MMP-9, and IL-1beta in gingival crevicular fluid through a 4-week weight control intervention including caloric restriction and exercise training in young Koreans
Study objectivesObesity control can influence periodontal inflammation through systemic and local change.
Ethics approval(s)Ethical Committee of Konyang University Hospital, KYUH 13-89, KYUH 9-25
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedBody mass index of >25
InterventionThe subjects stayed in the camp under surveillance for two hours of aerobic exercise, three hours of weight training, and a low salt-low fat diet (≤1,300 kcal/day). They were not allowed to have any private foods or drinks except water. We examined the dental plaque index at the baseline and final state to serve as a proxy for the maintenance of the subjects' habitual oral health behavior. We made no attempt to change the subjects' toothbrushing method or frequency so as not to affect gingival inflammation during the program. Smoking was not prohibited to maintain the other conditions as confounding factors except weight control.
