Abstract
Background and purposeThis study aims to explore whether different types of oral conditions are associated with incident stroke risk.Methods and resultsThis cohort study included 476,868 individuals without outcome events at baseline, multivariable models were constructed using Cox proportional hazard regression to assess the association between different oral conditions and the incidence of stroke, ischemic stroke (IS) and myocardial infarction (MI). Our fully adjusted model showed that individuals with painful gums [HRpainful gums: 1.31 (1.06, 1.63)], loose teeth [HRloose teeth: 1.45 (1.20, 1.77)] and dentures [HRdentures: 1.23 (1.12, 1.36)] have increased risk for stroke incidence.ConclusionsIndividuals with painful gums, loose teeth and dentures have increased risk for stroke, IS and MI incidence, this study helps to identify high-risk stroke participants.</p>
