Most were obese, with an average body-mass index score of 28.5, and two in three were sedentary. Overall, 67 percent of participants had at least one periodontal pocket—a gap between tooth and gum—of at least 4 mm. Those with the most severe cases tended to be older, female, smokers, with a chronic disease such as diabetes or high blood pressure, and a lower level of education. In this group, doctors found lower levels of omega-3s, fiber, vitamins C, K, copper, and zinc. Those in the healthiest group tended to be younger, without a chronic disease, and a higher level of education. Levels of omega-3, fiber, calcium, retinol, riboflavin, and zinc were higher.
