Abstract
A population-based cluster sampling method was used to recruit 5900 Kerman residents aged 15 to 75 years old. Participants were interviewed for CVD risk factors after providing informed consent. Some oral health markers were evaluated, including DMFT, Gingival Inflammation Index, and Community Periodontal Index. Multivariate regression models were used to investigate the link between oral health indicators and CVD risk variables. Results. The participants' average age was 33.5 years, and 45.1 percent of them were men. In 67.6% of the subjects, there was moderate gingival irritation. Participants were more likely to have sub- or supragingival calculus (90 percent). Cigarette smoking, increased with age (RR from 2.7 to 3.88). (RR = 1.49), and high blood glucose (RR = 1.41) showed an increased risk for oral diseases after adjustment for different covariates including established CVD risk factors. In the presence of some CVD risk factors, the study found an increase in periodontal disorders. As a result, both illnesses may have a bilateral but independent relationship, and a joint risk factor approach preventive program is strongly recommended.
 Keywords: Periodontal disease, cardiovascular disease (CVD), atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).

This study aims to investigate the link between oral health indicators as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and other CVD risk variables
Summary
It has been shown that periodontal disease and the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) have been linked, with emerging evidence suggesting that periodontal disease is a risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Three-quarters of the global burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is predicted to occur in developing countries. It appears that, due to the high prevalence of risk factors and the aging of their populations, CVD mortality and morbidity in most developing nations will skyrocket in the decades [2]. Some epidemiological research looked into the link between dental health and CVD and found that people with periodontal disease have a 25% increased risk of CVD. According to a recent metaanalysis, periodontal disease and poor oral health may have a role in the pathophysiology of CVD [8,9,10]. This study relied on self-reported oral hygiene behavior [12,13,14] and did not include a clinical oral examination to look into the relationship between various risk factors for both disorders [15,16,17,18,19,20]
