Diet in relation to number of remaining teeth in a population of middle-aged women in Gothenburg, Sweden.
An examination of the number of remaining teeth was performed in a sample of women representative of middle-aged women in the city of Gothenburg, Sweden. A dietary history was recorded in a subsample comprising altogether 437 women. When carrying out multivariate analyses of the total series, taking age into consideration as a background factor, significant correlations were observed between prevalence of edentulousness on one hand and intake of energy, fat and calcium on the other. Edentulous women had lower intake of ascorbic acid than other women.
