Oral Health, Inflammation, and Cardiometabolic Factors in the VA Million Veteran Program

This study of veterans underscores the important cardiometabolic links of self-reported poor OH and tooth loss, akin to those observed with periodontitis, even after adjusting for potential confounders related to demographics, lifestyle, and inflammation.Knowledge Transfer Statement:Exploring cardiometabolic associations with self-reported OH, clinically diagnosed periodontitis, and tooth loss using the ICD in the Veterans Affairs Million Veteran Program, we found significant associations. These associations persisted after adjustment for inflammatory confounders. These findings emphasized the benefit of assessing OH as a vital indicator of overall cardiometabolic health in large-scale biobank studies.

Abstract

This study of veterans underscores the important cardiometabolic links of self-reported poor OH and tooth loss, akin to those observed with periodontitis, even after adjusting for potential confounders related to demographics, lifestyle, and inflammation.Knowledge Transfer Statement:Exploring cardiometabolic associations with self-reported OH, clinically diagnosed periodontitis, and tooth loss using the ICD in the Veterans Affairs Million Veteran Program, we found significant associations. These associations persisted after adjustment for inflammatory confounders. These findings emphasized the benefit of assessing OH as a vital indicator of overall cardiometabolic health in large-scale biobank studies.
