- In the column Yes/No, N shows the number of participants with (Yes) and without (No) the JIA-related outcome within each of the two vitamin D exposure groups ≥ 50 nmol/L and < 50 nmol/L
- OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; vit. D, vitamin D; iso-BMI, Body Mass Index adjusted for age and sex; DMARDs, disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs; GBI, Gingival Bleeding Index; DI-S, simplified Debris Index; OHI-S, = simplified Oral Hygiene Index
- aModel 1: Adjusted for age, sex, geographical region, iso-BMI, and season for blood sampling (summer, fall, winter, spring)
- bModel 2: Model 1, and adjusted for DMARDs ever/never used
- cCaries included dentin caries (grades 3–5) and filled teeth. Dichotomized into no caries (no) and caries (yes) (5 did not have caries registration)
- dEnamel defects: Hypoplasia, Opacity and Post-eruptive breakdown (Brook et al. 2001, Elcock et al. 2006), categorized into not present(no), and present (yes). Children 4–16 years included
- eDental erosion (Hasselkvist et al. 2010, Johansson et al. 1996) categorized into not present (no), and present (yes). Children aged 4–5 and 10–16 years included (2 did not have the examination)
- fModified GBI (Ainamo & Bay, 1975), dichotomized into two levels of bleeding: Low = the lowest third (no), and Middle/High = a combination of the middle and highest third of scores (yes). Children aged 10–16 years included (3 missing)
