AB  - OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between tooth loss 
      and the level of blood pressure with the hypothesis that tooth loss is associated 
      with the increase of hypertension in postmenopausal women. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 
      Sixty postmenopausal female patients aged 51-68 years were included in the study 
      to assess the relationship between tooth loss and the level of blood pressure. 
      The information including sociodemographics, last menstruation period, 
      hypertension history, and the duration of having tooth loss was recorded. Blood 
      pressure was measured using sphygmomanometer and the number of tooth loss was 
      determined. RESULTS: The results showed a more significant tooth loss in 
      hypertension (median: 23 + 4; interquartile range [IQR]: 6) compared to the 
      normotension postmenopausal women (median: 18 + 6; IQR: 12; P < 0.05). 
      Furthermore, obese patients had more tooth loss (median: 23 + 5; IQR: 8) than the 
      overweight patients (median: 19 + 8; IQR: 8). CONCLUSION: Tooth loss is 
      associated with the increase of hypertension in postmenopausal women which may 
      have a role in the development of vascular diseases.
