Multiple regression analysis of stomatognathic health predictors.

Predictor	Effect on Gingival Inflammation (GI)	Effect on Dental Caries (DC)	p-Value	Adjusted R2
Estrogen Levels	Significant predictor; accounts for 45% of the variance in inflammation severity	Significant predictor; higher levels linked to more caries	0.001	0.45 (combined influence)
Progesterone Levels	Significant predictor; contributes to increased inflammation	Significant predictor; higher levels associated with more caries	0.003	0.45 (combined influence)
Oral Hygiene Habits	Contributes to the model’s accuracy; poor habits worsen inflammation	Contributes to increased caries; poor habits lead to worse outcomes	0.02	Improves model accuracy
Vomiting Frequency	No significant effect on inflammation	No significant effect on caries	>0.05	No effect
