- Objective To investigate whether sublingual varices are constant or inconstant over time and whether this is connected to background variables, cardiovascular risk factors or disease. Design This longitudinal observational study was performed between 2010 and 2020 at the Public Dental Services Vastra Vall, Varberg, Sweden. The study was based on 431 patients included in a previous study in which the relationship between sublingual varices and hypertension was examined. In connection to the annual dental examination, 281 patients were included in the follow-up study. They completed a questionnaire about background and health factors and diseases. Length and weight were measured. Two intraoral photos were taken with a digital camera. Two dentists independent of each other graded all photographs as none/few visible sublingual varices (nSV) or medium/severe sublingual varices (SV). Results The prevalence of SV was 25.6% at baseline and 30.6% at follow-up. At the follow up, a total of 76.5% had maintained their sublingual vascular status. Of those with nSV at baseline (n209), 80.9% still had nSV, and 19.1% had developed SV during the 8-year follow-up period. Of those 72 participants who had SV at baseline, 46 (63.9%) were unchanged at follow-up, and 26 (36.1%) were classified as nSV. Those who had developed SV at follow-up had a higher mean age (p = 0.003) and a higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), 13.2% versus 3.0% (p = 0.021). This association with CVD did not persist after an adjustment for sex and age (OR 3.2, 95% CI 0.81-12.46). They exhibited more hypertension (35.0% vs. 22.5%) and diabetes type 2 (7.5% vs. 3.0%), but with no significant difference. Conclusions This study revealed that 76.5% of the participants had an unchanged status regarding sublingual varices during an 8-year period and that the development from nSV to SV was associated with advanced age.
