  1. All models control for age, sex, race, BMI, and smoking status. Mean subgingival plaque was calculated if the participant supplied both a diseased and healthy site. Meansbp mean systolic blood pressure, meandbp mean diastolic blood pressure, glucosecrc fasting glucose, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance measurement, HbA1C hemoglobin A1c. Bolded values represent statistically significant Pearson correlations for linear trend (p < 0.05).
