雌激素治疗对减少绝经妇女牙齿和牙龈疾病有效--双语

Estrogen therapy shown effective in reducing tooth and gum diseases in postmenopausal women
雌激素治疗对减少绝经妇女牙齿和牙龈疾病有效

Estrogen therapy has already been credited with helping women manage an array of menopause-related issues, including reducing hot flashes, improving heart health and bone density, and maintaining levels of sexual satisfaction. Now a new study suggests that the same estrogen therapy used to treat osteoporosis can actually lead to healthier teeth and gums. The study outcomes are being published online in Menopause, the journal of The North American Menopause Society (NAMS).
雌激素治疗被认为是有助于妇女应付一系列更年期有关问题的方法，包括减少潮热，改善心脏功能和骨密度，并保持性满意度水平。现在一项新的研究表明，同样的用于治疗骨质疏松症的雌激素疗法实际上可以使牙齿和牙龈更健康。研究结果已在线发表于北美更年期协会（NAMS）的杂志《Menopause》上。
As estrogen levels fall during menopause, women become more vulnerable to numerous health issues, including loss of bone mineral density which can lead to osteoporosis. Around the same time, changes in oral health also are common as teeth and gums become more susceptible to disease, which can lead to inflammation, pain, bleeding, and eventually loose or missing teeth.
由于雌激素水平在更年期会下降，妇女更易发生许多健康问题，包括骨密度的丢失导致骨质疏松症。同时，口腔健康的变化也很常见，牙齿和牙龈更容易受到疾病的影响，从而导致炎症，疼痛，出血，最终松动或牙齿缺失。
In the Menopause article "Association between osteoporosis treatment and severe periodontitis in postmenopausal women," 492 postmenopausal Brazilian women aged 50 to 87 years, 113 in osteoporosis treatment and 379 not treated, were evaluated to determine whether osteoporosis treatment could help increase the bone mineral density in their jaws and, subsequently, improve overall oral health.
在《Menopause》的这篇名为“绝经妇女骨质疏松症治疗与重度牙周炎的关系”一文中，492名50岁至87岁的绝经巴西妇女，113名为骨质疏松症治疗组和379为未治疗组，对骨质疏松症治疗是否可以帮助增加颌骨骨密度，并随后提高整体口腔健康进行了评价。
The study found that the rate of occurrence of severe periodontitis was 44% lower in the postmenopausal osteoporosis-treatment group than in the untreated group. Treatment consisted of systemic estrogen alone or estrogen plus progestin, as well as calcium and vitamin D supplements, for a minimum of six months.
研究发现，绝经后骨质疏松症治疗组的严重牙周炎的发生率较未治疗组下降44％。治疗包括全身性单独使用雌激素或者联合雌激素和孕激素，以及钙和维生素D补充剂，至少六个月。
 "Osteoporosis can occur throughout the body, including the jaw, and lead to an increased risk of periodontal disease," says Dr. JoAnn Pinkerton, NAMS executive director. "This study demonstrates that estrogen therapy, which has proven to be effective in preventing bone loss, may also prevent the worsening of tooth and gum disease. All women, but especially those with low estrogen or on bisphosphonate treatment for osteoporosis, should make good dental care a part of their healthy lifestyles."
NAMS执行董事JoAnn Pinkerton博士说：“骨质疏松可发生于身体任何部位，包括颌骨，并导致牙周病的风险增加。这项研究表明，雌激素治疗法能有效预防骨质丢失，也可以预防牙齿和牙龈疾病的恶化。所有妇女，特别是那些雌激素水平低下或使用二膦酸盐治疗骨质疏松症的妇女，应该将良好的牙齿保健作为她们健康生活方式的一部分。”
