Thorstensson H et al. - It is important to apply life-span and cohort perspectives to oral health and disease.

Lifestyle factors were significant for losing and for retaining teeth. Periodontal condition had a significant influence on the likelihood of retaining functional dentition, and also when taking psychosocial variables into account.
