Orange-red: P. melaninogenica, P. intermedia, P. nigrescens, P. gingivalis. Red-green: T. forsythia, T. denticola, A. actinomycetemcomitans, E. corrodens, S. noxia, V. parvula, C. rectus. Yellow-orange: S. intermedius, S. oralis, S. mutans, F. nucleatum, P. micra (previously M. micros), C. ochracea. Orange-blue: E. nodatum, A. naeslundii.

Model 1: Crude association. Model 2: Age and sex adjusted. Model 3: Adjusted further for age, sex, education, race/ethnicity, income:poverty ratio, smoking, alcohol, physical activity, dentist visits, body mass index, and waist circumference. Model 4: Adjusted further for protein intake, carbohydrate intake, total fat, total calories, fiber intake, and dentist visits, including the variables in model 3.
