Lycopene, Race and Periodontitis: Disparities in Older Adults
Dietary lycopene intake is associated with reduced risk of severe PD, particularly in NHW individuals over 65 years old. PD was more common in men and NHB individuals, with a latter group showing a higher prevalence of severe PD. Our results suggest that future PD prevention strategies should consider targeted, race-and sex-specific dietary interventions.
