The subjects with more than 3 instances of untreated root caries had significantly lower serum albumin concentrations by an analysis of variance adjusted for age and gender (p < 0.05). DT = number of instances of untreated root caries. The n for each cell of data was DT = 0 (n = 484 for 70-year-olds, n = 131 for 80-year-olds), DT = 1 or 2 (n = 92 for 70-year-olds, n = 24 for 80-year-olds), and DT > 3 (n = 24 for 70-year-olds, n = 8 for 80-year-olds).
