The objective of a recent BMC Oral Health study was to document the association between salivary pH and Metabolic Syndrome expression in women. The salivary pH level was significantly correlated with several MetS covariates, namely triglycerides, apolipoprotein B, and plasma glucose concentrations as well as waist circumference. Mean pH levels decreased as the number of MetS components increased.
Bonnie: Salivary pH is an inexpensive screening tool to more easily monitor health status without increasing the burden of healthcare costs. I have used pH strips my entire career.
