Empirically derived dietary patterns in relation to periodontitis and number of teeth among Norwegian adults.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To explore dietary patterns in relation to periodontitis and number of teeth.

Design

A cross-sectional study.

Setting

We used data from the seventh survey of the Tromsø Study in Norway, 2015-2016. Three periodontitis groups were compared: (i) no periodontitis/slow bone loss; (ii) moderate bone loss; and (iii) rapid bone loss. Number of teeth was categorised as 25-28, 20-24 and ≤ 19. Dietary patterns were identified by principal component analysis. Multiple logistic regression was applied to examine associations between tertiles of dietary pattern scores and periodontitis, and between these same tertiles and number of teeth.

Participants

1487 participants (55·5 % women) aged 40-79 years who were free of major chronic diseases, attended an oral health
