1980년대 후반기부터 치주질환과 뇌경색(ischemic stroke)자료의 연관성을 모색하는 시도가 있어왔다. 이번 연구의 목적은 치주질환과 뇌경색 유무와의 어떤 관계가 있는지를 60세 이상의 노인을 대상으로 조사, 통계 분석하였다. 자료는 미국의 총 국민조사 격인 The Third Nation Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III)를 이용하였다. 이번 연구에서 unadjusted logistic model 통계법을 이용하여 치아 상실수와 뇌경색 경험이 통계학적으로 유의한 수치의 상관성이 있음을 알게 되었다. 또한 나이와 흡연유무를 고려, 조정한 후 multiple logistic model 통계법으로 잔존치아가 적을수록 더욱 뇌경색에 걸릴 확률이 높음을 보였다. 그러나 두 질병에 동시에 선택된 중요한 위험인자 (risk factor)를 모두 고려, 조정 한 후에는 통계학적인 유의성을 찾지 못했다. 치은퇴축, 치주낭 깊이, 치석, 탐침시 출혈과 뇌경색 경험은 각각의 비교법에서 약간의 상관성을 보이나, 모든 통계법을 통해 일괄된 결과를 얻을 수는 없었다.
