Association Between Oral Lichen Planus and Thyroid Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study Rodríguez Fernández, Stephanie Egido-Moreno, Sonia Rodríguez Fernández, Sharon Valls Roca-Umbert, Joan Vidal-Bel, August Blanco Carrión, Andrés López López, José, 1958- Malalties de la tiroide Malalties de la boca Thyroid diseases Mouth diseases Background: In recent years, various authors have suggested a potential association between oral lichen planus (OLP) and thyroid disease (TD), although other studies have failed to confirm a significant relationship. The available literature presents inconsistent and sometimes contradictory findings. Additionally, other conditions-such as anxiety and depression, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia-have also been linked with OLP. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 120 participants, comprising 60 patients diagnosed with OLP and 60 controls. Medical histories related to TD and other comorbidities were collected for both groups. Results: The prevalence of TD among the OLP patients was 20%, compared to 6.7% in the control group. The most frequently observed thyroid disorder was hypothyroidism, identified in 13.3% of the patients with OLP. Statistically, there was a moderate probability of an association between OLP and TD (p = 0.054). No statistically significant associations were found between OLP and hypertension (p = 0.378), type 2 diabetes mellitus (p = 0.550), dyslipidemia (p = 0.562), anxiety (p = 0.959), or depression (p = 0.532). Conclusions: Although the association between OLP and TD remains inconclusive, our findings suggest a moderate statistical probability of a relationship. 2025-06-30T07:56:26Z 2025-06-30T07:56:26Z 2025-04-30 2025-06-26T10:03:34Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 2077-0383 https://hdl.handle.net/2445/221891 40364138 eng Reproducció del document publicat a: https://doi.org/10.3390/jcm14093106 Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2025, vol. 14, num. 9 https://doi.org/10.3390/jcm14093106 cc-by (c) Rodríguez Fernández et al., 2025 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess 9 p. application/pdf MDPI Articles publicats en revistes (Odontoestomatologia)
