NHANES, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey; CHD, coronary heart disease; GI, gingival inflammation.

a

Odds ratios adjusted as follows: logistic regression model for Diabetes adjusted for race, age, gender, body mass index (BMI), smoking (three levels) and education (three levels); logistic regression models for Heart Attack and Stroke adjusted for race, age, gender, BMI, smoking (three levels), diabetes, hypertension, education (three levels), high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, and total cholesterol; logistic regression models for C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin (IL)-6 adjusted for race, age, gender, BMI, smoking (three levels), diabetes, hypertension, and education (three levels). Bold text indicates statistically significant odds ratios. CRP was only measured at one exam cycle.

b

CHD excludes Stroke cases; stroke excludes CHD cases.

c

Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) (see chart end of Table 2).
