  1. Data are presented as odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) using multiple logistic regression analysis.
  2. Multiple logistic regression model was additionally adjusted with age, sex, tooth brushing frequency, alcohol intake and tobacco smoking in Model 1; BMI was further adjusted in Model 2.
  3. Severer periodontitis is defined as periodontitis stage II or stage III and higher leucocyte counts is defined as total leucocyte counts ≥ 7.6 103/µL.
