Data are presented as adjusted hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals).

HDL, high-density lipoprotein; IDF, International Diabetes Federation; MetS, metabolic syndrome; NCEP-ATP III, National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III.

a

IDF criteria include the presence of 3 or more conditions: hypertension, impaired glucose tolerance, low HDL, hypertriglyceridemia, or waist circumference ≥94 cm (men).

b

NCEP-ATP III criteria include the presence of 3 or more conditions: hypertension, impaired glucose tolerance, low HDL, hypertriglyceridemia, or waist circumference ≥102 cm (men).

c

Composite event defined as either the periodontal measure reached the threshold level or the tooth was lost.

d

Adjusted for baseline age and highest level of education completed (high school, some college, college) and time-dependent values of cigarette use (no/yes), cigar use (no/yes), plaque on tooth (none/interproximal only versus interproximal plus at least 1 other surface), and number of decayed/filled surfaces per tooth.

e

Disease event adjusted for baseline age, education, pocket depth score, and time-dependent values of cigarette use, cigar use, and plaque. Composite event additionally adjusted for number of decayed/filled surfaces per tooth.

f

Disease event adjusted for baseline age, education, clinical attachment loss score, and time-dependent values of cigarette use, cigar use, and plaque. Composite event additionally adjusted for number of decayed/filled surfaces per tooth.

g

Disease event adjusted for baseline age, education, alveolar bone loss score, and time-dependent values of cigarette use, cigar use, and plaque. Composite event additionally adjusted for number of decayed/filled surfaces per tooth.

h

Disease event adjusted for baseline age, education, mobility score, and time-dependent values of cigarette use, cigar use, and plaque. Composite event additionally adjusted for number of decayed/filled surfaces per tooth.
