To determine the prevalence of aggressive periodontitis and associated systemic manifestations in Moradabad district, Uttar Pradesh, India. 3000 patients, including 1872 males and 1128 females were evaluated with mean age of 30.99. The study population was classified into three groups: gingivitis, chronic periodontitis and aggressive periodontitis. Subjects with aggressive periodontitis were further classified into localized (LAP) and generalized (GAP) groups. Based on the Hospital anxiety and depression scale study subjects were classified into non case, borderline case and case. Forty four patients were di¬agnosed with aggressive periodontitis of which 25 were LAP and 19 were gap. Prevalence rates of fatigue was 20% (LAP) and 15.78% (GAP); weight loss was; 4% (LAP) and 10.52% (GAP); loss of appetite was 8% (LAP) and 15.78% (GAP). The distribution of anxiety scores in LAP group was 44 % (Noncase), 28% (Borderline) and 28% (Case). The distribution of anxiety scores in GAP was 31.5% (Noncase) 31.5% (Borderline) 37% (Case). The distribution of depression scores in LAP group was 68% (Noncase) 20% (Borderline) 12% (Case). The distribution of depression scores in GAP was; 57.89% (Noncase); 21.05% (Borderline); 21.05% (Case). The prevalence of aggressive periodontitis was 1.5% in Moradabad district. The localized form was more com¬mon than the generalized form.
