Oral microbiome alpha diversity and all-cause, cardiovascular, and non-cardiovascular mortality in US adults: Evidence from the NHANES 2009-2019.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Knowledge about the association between oral microbiome diversity within individuals and cardiovascular disease (CVD) and non-CVD mortality is scarce. Besides, variation by sex and racial and ethnic groups, and the potential mediators of these associations remain unclear. We aimed to investigate the associations of oral microbiome alpha diversity with all-cause, CVD, and non-CVD mortality, and the interaction effects of sex and racial and ethnic groups and potential mediators in the associations.

Methods

The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is a population-based observational study, conducted periodically in Mexican American, Other Hispanic, Non-Hispanic (NH) White, NH Black, and other racial/ethnic participants. We linked 2009-12
