Abstract
Relationships between tooth loss and health for North Carolinians were examined using the BRFSS data. Results show disparities in tooth loss by education, income and race/ethnicity. Tooth loss was associated with various health problems including obesity, diabetes and stroke and also with health-related behaviors such as smoking and exercise.
