Association between life's essential 8 and periodontitis: a population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The American Heart Association has developed a novel cardiovascular health indicator called Life's Essential 8 (LE8). However, no one has reported using LE8 to assess periodontitis. This study aimed to investigate the association between LE8 and periodontitis in American adults.

Methods

Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2009 to 2014 were used for this investigation. LE8 was the independent variable, and it is divided into three grades: high, moderate, and low. Periodontitis was the dependent variable, and the classification of periodontitis was based on the criteria of Eke in 2012. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to explore the relationship between LE8 and periodontitis.
