Multiple linear regression analysis was adjusted for sex, age, educational level, family income, body mass index, waist:hip ratio, blood lipid level, hypertension, diabetes, and smoking.

cIMT, carotid intima–media wall thickness; CI, confidence interval; PLI, plaque index; PD, probing depth; AL, attachment loss; BI, bleeding index.
