a

Model 1 adjusted for sex and SES.

b

Model 2 adjusted for sex, SES, use of dental services, plaque trajectory, and pack years to age 32 (smoking history).

c

Model 3 adjusted for sex, SES, use of dental services, and interaction between smoking and plaque trajectory.

Reference categories: male (female, coded 0), medium or low SES at age 32 (high SES coded 0), episodic user of dental services at age 32 (routine user of dental services at age 32, coded 0), moderate or high plaque trajectory (low plaque trajectory coded 0), non-smoker at age 32 + moderate plaque trajectory, non-smoker at age 32 + high plaque trajectory, smoker at age 32 + low plaque trajectory, smoker at age 32 + moderate plaque trajectory or smoker at age 32 + high plaque trajectory (non-smoker at age 32 + low plaque trajectory coded 0), high familial-risk for periodontal disease (low familial-risk for periodontal disease coded 0)

RR, relative risk; CAL, combined attachment loss; CI, confidence interval; SES, socioeconomic status. Significant findings in bold type.
