Association of vitamin K, fibre intake and progression of periodontal attachment loss in American adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Periodontitis-related attachment loss is accompanied by mucosal bleeding and inflammatory lesions. Dietary vitamin K and fibre intake are known to be correlation factors of haemostasis and anti-inflammation, respectively.

Objective

To explore the association between severe periodontal attachment loss and vitamin K or fibre intake in American adults.

Methods

A cross-sectional analysis was conducted including 2747 males and 2218 females in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) from 2009 to 2014. The number of teeth with severe periodontal attachment loss (above 5 mm attachment loss) was used as the dependent variable. The main independent variables included the intake of vitamin K and dietary fibre. The association among variables was
