Scientific rationale for study: Sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption increases the risk for non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including periodontitis. Prior investigations have not considered important factors, including age groups, diversity of beverages consumed and awareness of a diabetes diagnosis that may modify a person's relationship with sugar consumption. Principal findings: SSB intake was associated with higher odds of periodontitis in US adults.
