Two-piecewise regression analysis of the effect of dietary fibre intake on the progression of attachment loss

Attachment loss progression Adjusted β (95% CI), P value
Fitting by the standard linear model -0.0009 (-0.0014, -0.0005) < 0.0001
Fitting by the two-piecewise linear model
 Inflection point 753.4 mg
 Dietary fibre < 753.4 (mg) -0.0016 (-0.0021, -0.0010) < 0.0001
 Dietary fibre > 753.4 (mg) 0.0015 (0.0001, 0.0029) 0.0362
 Log likelihood ratio  < 0.001
