  1. OR: odds ratio, CI: confidence interval.
  2. aAdjusted for sex, smoking habit, serum total cholesterol, fasting serum glucose, serum albumin, place of residence, marital status, and body mass index.
  3. bAdjusted for smoking habit, serum total cholesterol, fasting serum glucose, serum albumin, place of residence, marital status, and body mass index.
  4. cStratified by sex due to results of interaction tests, which indicated a statistically significant difference for risk related to tooth loss between males and females (P = 0.006) (see statistical analyses).
