Values represent the mean ± the standard error of the mean. Linear mixed models were used in order to control for within Pearson correlation. All models control for age, sex, race, BMI, and smoking status. Attachment Loss average attachment loss, Pocket Depth average periodontal pocket depth, %BOP percent of sites bleeding on probing; meansbp mean systolic blood pressure, meandbp mean diastolic blood pressure, glucosecrc fasting glucose, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance, HbA1C hemoglobin A1c, Bolded values represent statistically significant Pearson correlations for linear trends (p < 0.05).
