Fasting glucose levels according to the number of tooth brushing considering the periodontitis and tooth loss.
Data are presented as mean and 95% confidence intervals of fasting glucose level derived from multivariable linear mixed models considering the interactions. There is no significant interaction effect (A: p for tooth brushing * periodontitis = 0.701, B: p for tooth brushing * tooth loss = 0.101).
