Buffalo: Gum disease and tooth loss may be associated with a higher risk
of death in postmenopausal women but not increased cardiovascular
disease risk, according to new research in Journal of the American
Heart Association, the open access journal of the American Heart
Association/American Stroke Association. Loss of all natural teeth also was linked with an increased risk
of death in postmenopausal women, according to the study led by UB
researchers.
