Association of periodontitis with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in hypertensive individuals: insights from a NHANES cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The objective of this research is to clarify the impact of periodontitis on overall and cardiovascular-related death rates among hypertensive individuals.

Method

A total of 5665 individuals with hypertension were included from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data spanning 2001-2004 and 2009-2014. These individuals were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of periodontitis and further stratified by the severity of periodontitis.

Additional analyses, including adjustments for various covariates, subgroups, and sensitivity analy
