Extent probing depth, the subject quartile rank for number of sites per subject with at least 5 mm of periodontal probing depth; low PD, extent PD <5 mm Q1–Q3; high PD, extent PD >5 mm Q4; plaque, the subject quartile rank in whole-mouth score for the Loe-Silness plaque index, PI; low plq, extent PI Q1–Q3; high Plq, extent PI Q4.

For multileveled variables, the p value reflects the Cochran Mantel-Haenszel χ2 test.
