Figure 2

Box whisker plot of organic acids and fatty acids between all controls (C) and periodontitis patients (P), as well as the periodontitis groups without (POL)—and with tooth loss (PWL) with pair matched controls (COL, CWL). Extreme outliers (3xIQR) are not shown in the figure but were included in the analysis. * Significant findings; (a) Dietary intake of organic acids (C vs. P: p = 0.021 *; COL vs. POL: p = 0.132; CWL vs. PWL: p = 0.083), (b) Dietary intake of vitamin C (C vs. P: p = 0.007 *; COL vs. POL: p = 0.095; CWL vs. PWL p = 0.022 *), (c) Intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (C vs. P: p = 0.087; COL vs. POL: p = 0.385; CWL vs. PWL p = 0.113), (d) Intake of Docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) (C vs. P: p = 0.0033 *; COL vs. POL: p = 0.026 *; CWL vs. PWL p = 0.054).
