Abstract
Drawing on a large, nationally representative population of older American adults (n = 3610), the study shows that individuals with more than eight missing teeth have a 6%–10% higher likelihood of cardiovascular disease compared with those with fewer tooth losses. Poorer diet quality emerged as a key pathway linking tooth loss and cardiovascular outcomes.
