The objective of this study was to investigate the association between diabetes mellitus (DM) and tooth loss in a Japanese population using data from the National Database of Health Insurance Claims and Specific Health Checkups [1].
This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from a nationally representative sample of Japanese individuals aged 40 to 74 years. The study population was categorized into two groups: those with DM and those without DM. The primary outcome was the incidence of tooth loss, defined as the extraction or loss of natural teeth. Multivariable logistic regression models were employed to assess the association between DM and tooth loss, adjusting for potential confounders such as age, gender, socioeconomic status, and smoking habits [2].
