The Mediating Role of Biological Age Advance in the Association Between Periodontitis and Mortality: <b>Biological Aging Links Periodontitis to Mortality</b>
Our findings support the hypothesis that biological aging (assessed by PhenoAge and KDM advances) plays a significant, though partial, mediating role in the link between periodontitis and elevated mortality.
