Fig. 1From: Erythrocyte indices and localized stage II/III periodontitis in military young men and women: CHIEF oral health studyIn men, a positive linear relationship curve was noted in hematocrit (HCT), hemoglobin (Hb) and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) (x-axis) against the stage II/III localized periodontitis risk (y-axis). In addition, the risk of stage II/III periodontitis was not increased within a range of HCT (42.5–50.0%) and Hb (13.5–16.0 g/dL)Back to article page
