  1. 3P-MACEs three-point major adverse cardiovascular events, CAD coronary artery disease, HR hazard ratio, CI confidence interval, CVD cardiovascular disease, DM diabetes mellitus, PLT platelet.
  2. aMultivariate analysis was adjusted by enrollment age, female gender, CVD family history, salty diet, favor vegetables, physical inactivity, smoking, alcohol intake, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, DM, obesity, anti-PLT, and tooth brushing frequency.
  3. bEnrollment age served as continuous variables.
  4. cExcluded as a confounder of hyperlipidemia.
