A high level of liver fat content (LFC) is a key indicator steatotic disease (SLD), reflecting its pathological essence. Periodontal (PD) recognized as chronic inflammatory condition and cause widespread adverse health impact. This study aims to investigate the relationship between PD LFC development. In UK Biobank, were gathered through digital questionnaire, including gum pain, bleed, or teeth loose. was measured by Fatty Liver Index (>60 indicates SLD) in cross-sectional analysis magnetic resonance imaging (quantified Proton Density Fat Fraction, PDFF) longitudinal analysis. Multivariable logistic linear regression models conducted association LFC. analysis, 164,150 (37.4%) individuals diagnosed with SLD, showed significant SLD (odds ratio: 1.104, 95% CI: 1.075-1.132). prospective total 39,656 participants median follow-up 10.3 years included. an arithmetic mean difference 0.091 PDFF (95% 0.047-0.139), males exhibiting stronger than females (P for interaction <0.05). Significant mediating effects observed body mass index (19.58%), C-reactive protein (11.61%), blood glucose (6.70%), healthy diet score (5.99%) all <0.001). There pronounced correlation LFC, predominantly driving this link. may be partially mediated fat, inflammation, dietary habit, insulin resistance.
