This paper reports periodontal disease findings and evaluates the distribution by sociodemographic factors. METHODS: Eligible persons were identified through the Kungsholmen Project, an ongoing, longitudinal, population-based study of older adults. A total of 121 study subjects received a periodontal examination. RESULTS: The mean pocket probing depth was 2.6 mm and the mean clinical attachment loss was 3.7 mm. Gingival bleeding was common. Over half of all study participants met the criteria used for {"}serious periodontitis{"} (SP). In the best fit adjusted odds ratio (OR) model, males were 3.1 times more likely than females to have {"}SP{"} (OR=3.1, 95% CI 1.2, 8.0), a statistically significant observation. A sub-analysis of the differences in proportion of participants with SP revealed that the difference by sex also increased by age.
