aLog, logarithmic transformation preceding the ANOVA test.

bThe Chi-square test used to produce the P values.

cP value for the whole population including the edentulous patients.

ABL: alveolar bone loss; BOP: bleeding on probing; CRS: cumulative risk score; LTA: lymphotoxin-α; MPO: myeloperoxidase; PPD: probing pocket depths; PLTP: phospholipid transfer protein.Significant P values are highlighted in bold. Analyses were performed in the Parogene population (n = 455) including patients with an indication to coronary artery angiography. All patients underwent a clinical and radiographic oral examination.
