Table 4 Hazard Ratios (HR, 95% CI) for all-cause, all-cancer, and non CV and non cancer mortality depending on cumulative dental exposure (dental plaque, dental calculus, gingival inflammation, functional Masticatory Units <5 and missing teeth >10) (Propensity score model).
From: Oral health in relation to all-cause mortality: the IPC cohort study
Dental exposure | All-cause mortality n = 370 | All-cancer mortality n = 184 | Non CV and non cancer mortality n = 129 |
|---|---|---|---|
0 n = 15222 (reference group) | 1 | 1 | 1 |
1 n = 4242 | 1.21 (0.88–1.67) | 1.77 (0.76–4.09) | 0.89 (0.36–2.20) |
2 n = 1600 | 1.69 (1.16–2.46) | 1.90 (0.72–5.0) | 1.54 (0.54–4.4) |
≥3 n = 1022 | 3.69 (2.51–5.42) | 3.59 (1.23–10.5) | 4.71 (1.74–12.7) |
Increase of 1 dental exposure | 1.71 (1.62–1.81)b | 1.56 (1.34–1.81)b | 1.86 (1.49–2.16)b |
