Table 6
Correlation of nutrition intake based on the FFQ and macronutrient content in dental calculus between obese and normal-weight individuals.
| Intake based on the FFQ | Macronutrient content of dental calculus | Total carbohydrate (mg/ml) | Total protein (mg/ml) | Total lipid (mg/ml) | Obese | Normal weight | Obese | Normal weight | Obese | Normal weight |
