The main objective of this study was to identify certain lifestyle disorders like diabetes mellitus and other medical conditions like hypertension and hyperlipidemia in an older adult population and to verify their relationship with the periodontal health status in the same group of individuals. A total number of 600 patients between 35-75 years were selected for this study. Their lifestyle habits were obtained through a questionnaire. It was followed by a periodontal examination, blood pressure re cording and a biochemical analysis of the blood samples taken from them. Results of MLRA showed that diabetes mellitus, was clearly associated with attachment loss. Hypertension was not associated with attachment loss, and elevated blood cholesterol levels (hyperlipedemia) were associated only in univariate models. It could be concluded that in the selected group of subjects aged 35-75 years, only diabetes mellitus was associated with attachment loss in this cross-sectional study.__ampersandsignnbsp;
