TL;DR: A weak, statistically significant, positive correlation was found between subject age and salivary flow rate in this population of elderly subjects, and this suggests that SWSRF is influenced more by factors such as medication than by aging.

TL;DR: Alveolar bone loss as assessed from PMXs is associated with cardiovascular diseases and may provide valuable information about both oral conditions and signs of carotid calcification, data that are consistent with self-reported health conditions.
