Article Title: Associations Between Oral Microbiota Pathogens and Elevated Depressive and Anxiety Symptoms in Men
doi: 10.1155/da/9961595
Figure Lengend Snippet: Logistic regressions result for the main analysis: association between the oral pathogen composite and elevated depressive and anxiety symptoms. Modest (nonsignificant) association between the pathogen composite and elevated depressive symptoms ( N = 39), compared to minimal depressive symptoms ( N = 397), both in unadjusted ( p =0.0940) and adjusted ( p =0.0712) models. No association of the pathogen composite between participants with elevated ( N = 66) versus minimal ( N = 370) anxiety symptoms, both in unadjusted and adjusted models ( p > 0.05). Adjusted models control for confounders: age, SES, diet, lifestyle risk, obesity, and hypertension. The pathogen composite reflects the combined load of P. gingivalis , T. denticola , F. nucleatum subsp. vincentii ATCC 49256 , F. nucleatum subsp. vincentii 3_1_36A2 , F. nucleatum subsp. vincentii , F. nucleatum subsp. animalis 7_1 , F. nucleatum subsp. polymorphum , F. nucleatum subsp. animalis ATCC 51191, F. nucleatum subsp. animalis , and P. nigrescens ATCC 33563 . Error bars represent 95% CI. 95% CI, 95% confidence interval; OR, odds ratio estimate; SE, standard error; SES, socioconomic status.
Article Snippet: K. pneumoniae species were not included as no OTU assigned to them was detected; similarly, we did not include A. actinomycetemcomitans species and F. nucleatum subsp. fusiforme ATCC 51190 species as these were poorly detected in the samples and not positively correlated with the composite (details in Supporting Information Table ; correlation matrix in Supporting Information Figure ).
