Adjusted for age (modeled as continuous), gender, race/ethnicity, education and income, last dental visit
Age was modeled as a continuous variable
Due to the high proportion of missing for alcohol, the smoking model did not adjust for alcohol and the alcohol model did not adjust for smoking
^an corresponds to non-missing smoking and adjustment covariates
^bn corresponds to non-missing alcohol and adjustment covariates
^cn corresponds to non-missing smoking, alcohol and adjustment covariates
