Unadjusted cardiovascular risk profiles according to toothbrushing frequency. (A) Estimated 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular risk calculated using pooled cohort equations, (B) high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and (C) white blood cell (WBC) counts. Multivariable adjustment for the association between toothbrushing frequency and cardiovascular risk profiles (D). The estimated 10-year ASCVD risk was log-transformed. The red box and line indicate a comparison of toothbrushing ≥ 3 vs. 0−1 times/day; blue indicates that of 2 vs. 0−1 times/day. *Adjusted for age, sex, obesity, current smoking, heavy alcohol drinking, and physical activity; **Adjusted for age, sex, obesity, current smoking, heavy alcohol drinking, physical activity, hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidaemia.
