Genetically predicted periodontitis vs Lower genetically predicted periodontitis liability

Bone mineral density in forearm · European-ancestry adults

Genetically predicted periodontitis had no causal effect on forearm BMD.

1 finding from 1 review

Genetically predicted DMFS (dental caries) vs Lower genetically predicted DMFS

Osteoporosis · European GWAS participants

The SVMR Weighted Median interval excluded the null.

3 findings from 1 review

Health expenditure per capita vs Higher vs lower per-capita health expenditure categories

Oral health-related quality of life · people aged 60 years and older living in the community

OHRQoL did not differ significantly across per-capita health-expenditure categories; no pooled estimate was reported in the text (ungraded).

Genetically predicted periodontitis vs Lower genetically predicted periodontitis liability

Forearm fracture · European-ancestry adults

Genetically predicted periodontitis had no causal effect on fracture of forearm (multivariable MR, OR 0.995).

Genetically predicted periodontitis vs Lower genetically predicted periodontitis liability

Postmenopausal osteoporosis with pathological fracture · European GWAS participants

The SVMR Weighted Median interval included the null.

3 findings from 1 review

Genetically predicted periodontitis vs Lower genetically predicted periodontitis liability

Postmenopausal osteoporosis with pathological fracture · Postmenopausal women (European ancestry)

Genetically predicted periodontitis had no causal effect on postmenopausal osteoporosis with pathological fracture (single-variable MR, OR 1.014).

2 findings from 1 review

Genetically predicted DMFS (dental caries) vs Reference (1-SD lower genetically predicted DMFS)

Femur fracture · European-ancestry adults

Genetically predicted dental caries (DMFS) had no significant causal effect on fracture of femur (multivariable MR, OR 1.069).

2 findings from 1 review

Out-of-pocket health expenditure vs Lower vs higher out-of-pocket expenditure categories

Oral health-related quality of life · people aged 60 years and older living in the community

Lower out-of-pocket health expenditure was associated with better OHRQoL (83.9, 95% CI 75.2 to 92.6 vs 67.5, 95% CI 58.5 to 76.5); the difference was statistically significant (ungraded).

2 findings from 1 review

Genetically predicted pulp and periapical diseases vs Without pulp and periapical diseases (lower genetic liability)

Lacunar stroke · European-ancestry adults

Genetically predicted pulp and periapical diseases were associated with modestly higher odds of lacunar stroke (OR 1.20); ungraded MR, FDR-adjusted P 0.033.

1 finding from 1 review

Genetically predicted DMFS (dental caries) vs Lower genetically predicted DMFS

Forearm fracture · European GWAS participants

The SVMR Weighted Median interval included the null.

3 findings from 1 review

Higher mean patient age (per 1 year) vs Lower mean patient age (per 1-year decrement)

Spontaneous space closure · Children and adolescents after extraction of a mandibular permanent first molar (before eruption of the second molar)

In the mandible, mean patient age was not significantly associated with space closure odds (OR 0.59 per year; not GRADE-rated).
