Risk Prediction of Edentulism in Chinese Adults: Insights From the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS)
In a large, nationally representative cohort, an internally validated logistic regression model based on routinely available data showed moderate discrimination, good calibration, and potential clinical utility for predicting incident edentulism. Age and low-grade systemic inflammation were the main contributors to risk stratification and may help guide early, tooth-preserving care.
