The effect of self-reported flossing behavior on cardiovascular disease events and mortality Findings from the 2009-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys by Nebu, Philip

“…ResultsDaily flossing was associated with lower prevalence of CVD events after adjusting for age, sex, sociodemographic factors, and lifestyle habits (model 2); the odds ratio was 0.71 (95% CI, 0.59 to 0.85) for CVD prevalence in the daily flossing group compared with the not flossing group. The odds ratio for CVD prevalence for each additional day of flossing was 0.95 (95% CI, 0.93 to 0.98; P for linear trend < .001) in model 2, and remained statistically significant after model 2 was further adjusted for metabolic syndrome. …”
