English to Portuguese: Prevalence of periodontal disease, its association with systemic diseases and prevention General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical: Dentistry
Source text - English Periodontal diseases are prevalent both in developed and developing countries and affect about 20-50% of global population. High prevalence of periodontal disease in adolescents, adults, and older individuals makes it a public health concern. Several risk factors such as smoking, poor oral hygiene, diabetes, medication, age, hereditary, and stress are related to periodontal diseases. Robust evidence shows the association of periodontal diseases with systemic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Periodontal disease is likely to cause 19% increase in the risk of cardiovascular disease, and this increase in relative risk reaches to 44% among individuals aged 65 years and over. Type 2 diabetic individuals with severe form of periodontal disease have 3.2 times greater mortality risk compared with individuals with no or mild periodontitis.
. Periodontal therapy has been shown to improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetic subjects. Periodontitis is related to maternal infection, preterm birth, low birth weight, and preeclampsia. Oral disease prevention strategies should be incorporated in chronic systemic disease preventive initiatives to curtail the burden of disease in populations. The reduction in the incidence and prevalence of periodontal disease can reduce its associated systemic diseases and can also minimize their financial impact on the health-care systems. It is hoped that medical, dental practitioners, and other health-care professionals will get familiar with perio-systemic link and risk factors, and need to refer to the specialized dental or periodontal care.
Translation - Portuguese As doenças periodontais são prevalentes tanto nos países desenvolvidos como nos países em desenvolvimento e afetam cerca de 20 a 30% da população mundial. A alta prevalência de doença periodontal em adolescentes, adultos e indivíduos com idades mais avançadas, lhe confere o status de problema de saúde pública. Vários fatores de risco, como hábito de fumar, baixa higiene oral, diabetes, medicação, idade, hereditariedade e stress são relacionados à doença periodontal. Fortes evidências demonstram a associação da doença periodontal com doenças sistêmicas tais como doença cardiovascular, diabetes, e resultados adversos na gravidez. Doença periodontal é responsável por um aumento de 19% no risco de doenças cardiovasculares, e este risco relativo alcança 44% nos indivíduos de 65 anos ou mais. Indivíduos com Diabetes tipo II com a forma severa de doença periodontal tem 3.2 vezes maior risco de mortalidade comparado com indivíduos com nenhuma doença ou com periodontite leve. Tem sido demonstrado que a terapia periodontal aumenta o controle de glicemia no Diabetes Tipo II. Periodontite está relacionada à infecção materna no nascimento prematuro, baixo peso ao nascimento e pre-eclâmpsia. Estratégias preventivas em relação à doença oral devem ser implementadas, para impedir o agravamento da doença sistêmica e sua consequência sob a população. A redução na incidência e prevalência da doença periodontal pode reduzir sua associação com as doenças sistêmicas e pode também minimizar o seu impacto financeiro nos sistemas de assistência à saúde. Espera-se, que os médicos, dentistas e outros profissionais de saúde se familiarizem com a estreita ligação entre Perio- sistêmico, fatores de risco, e necessidade de indicar o dentista especializado ou assistência periodontal.

Bio
I am passionate about foreign languages. I remember exchanging letters in English with people from all over the world since I was an adolescent.
As an adult, I studied Dentistry at the University. I had unstoppable activities relating to foreign languages, including translation of scientific articles in the Health Area.
Recently I had the opportunity to live in the UK for 5 (five) years and to visit some countries in Europe. It was magical to get to know other cultures. I established relationships with people from everywhere in the world. It was a milestone in my life.
Now, I decided to make a career change to do some Home Office. It is about lifestyle. I also decided to dedicate myself to a new career, Freelancer Translator.
