Question 2 • Physicians, Pharmacists, Dentists, Veterinarians and Other Doctors

What is the relationship between periodontitis and heart disease?

Answer
A
Periodontitis causes heart disease.
B
These diseases have a connection, but are not related by cause.
C
These diseases always happen together.
D
Heart disease causes periodontitis.

Explanation

Research has found an association between periodontitis and heart disease: people with one may be more likely to have the other. However, an association does not prove that either disease causes the other, and they do not always occur together. So the best answer is “These diseases have a connection, but are not related by cause.”
