Higher Prevalence of Tooth Loss in People With Abdominal Obesity but Normal Weight: Findings From the United States and Scottish Populations
This study indicated that the prevalence of tooth loss is substantially higher in people with abdominal obesity, and this association is distinctively different between men and women. These findings suggest that those who are not obese but have abdominal obesity may be an important target population for oral health prevention strategies.
