All odds ratios were weighted to be representative of the PATH Study wave 4 sample. A separate logistic regression model was fitted for each wave 5 oral health outcome and included all Table 1 covariables. Covariables sex, age, and race/ethnicity were measured at wave 4; all other covariables were measured at wave 3. Each model additionally adjusted for the oral health condition at the wave 4 baseline (e.g., the wave 5 past 12-mo bleeding gum model included wave 4 past 12-mo bleeding gum status as a covariable).
