  1. Continuous variables are expressed as median (first quartile, third quartile) deviation.
  2. *p < 0.01, compared with the participants with PPD ≤ 3 mm, using the Kruskal Wallis test with post hoc Mann Whitney U test (corrected Bonferroni’s method).
  3. †p < 0.05,compared with the participants with PPD = 4–5 mm, using the Kruskal Wallis test with post hoc Mann Whitney U test (corrected Bonferroni’s method).
  4. Abbreviations: PPD, probing pocket depth; HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c; CRP, C-reactive protein.
