Remnant Cholesterol as an Independent Predictor of Periodontitis: A Population-Based Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Numerus studies present that remnant cholesterol (RC) as a risk factor participates in the progression of multiple diseases. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between cholesterol and periodontitis in the US population to find a reliable lipid predictor for periodontitis.

Materials and methods

Clinical data was retrieved from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database between 2009 and 2014. The logistic regression was conducted to examine the corelationship between RC and various clinical features. Meanwhile, the dose-response relationship was measured through restricted cubic spline analysis. And the propensity score matching (PSM) was established to further investigate the potential relationship between RC and periodo
