Predictor variable | Untreated Dental Caries | Dental Caries Experience | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Adjusted Odds Ratio | P Value | 95% Confidence Interval | Adjusted Odds Ratio | P Value | 95% Confidence Interval | |
Sleep duration* | 0.87 | 0.002 | 0.81–0.94 | 0.86 | 0.036 | 0.75–0.98 |
Sleep ≥ 7 h/night# | 0.7 | 0.005 | 0.56–0.88 | 0.52 | 0.008 | 0.33–0.82 |
All models were adjusted for age, gender, race, level of education, income level and BMI
