A Cross-Sectional Study Based on Deep Learning to Explore the Effect of Triglyceride/Glucose Index on Periodontitis: An Analysis Based on the Large NHANES Database.

Key Points

• This analysis aims to investigate the relationship between the triglyceride/glucose index and periodontitis risk.
• Cross-sectional study design using NHANES database
• Utilized a deep learning model for prediction
• Analyzed the correlation between TyG index levels and periodontitis risk
• TyG index showed significant dose-dependent correlation with periodontitis risk
• Deep learning model exhibited excellent predictive performance
• TyG index may be a low-cost biomarker for early identification of periodontitis
