In our multivariate model, we found a high HbA1c level (≥ 7%) to be significantly associated with an increased risk of chewing problems (odds ratio [OR] 2.76, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.46–5.24, p = 0.002), and even moderately elevated HbA1c (6.0–6.9%) tended to be related to an increased risk though the association failed to reach statistical significance.
