Oral health exhibited a marginal trend towards cardiometabolic health (β = −0.101, p = 0.075).
Oral health exhibited a marginal trend towards cardiometabolic health (β = −0.101, p = 0.075).
Although not statistically significant, the near-significant trend with cardiometabolic health aligns with emerging evidence linking poor oral health to systemic inflammation and cardiovascular risk [ 50 ].
The Street Food Pattern (SFP) did not also significantly predict cardiometabolic health (B = 0.023 p = 0.589) or psychological distress (B = 0.110, p = 0.092), although the positive trend towards psychological distress approached significance.
