Least-squares adjusted cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk score by oral hygiene category among disease-free adults in the Survey of the Health of Wisconsin (n=712).

CVD risk scores with different superscripts are significantly different from one another (p<0.05).

Based on a fully adjusted model equation: CVD Score(predicted) = 0.255(intercept) − 0.019(excellent) + 0.000(fair) + 0.011(poor) − 0.193(age 30–38) − 0.159(age 39–47) − 0.104(age 48–56) − 0.059(age 57–65) − 0.073(female) + 0.000(not married) + 0.002(Bachelors) + 0.002(Associates) + 0.002(dental coverage) − 0.021(dental check-up) + 0.063(current smoker) + 0.002(former smoker) + 0.000(fat) − 0.002(sedentary) + Error
