More Details: Abstract Background Edentulism is considered the ultimate sign of oral health disease burden. It is a common and frequent clinical disease, mostly seen in the elderly, which has been reported to be closely associated with many diseases. While physical activity is known to benefit many chronic diseases, the relationship between the volume of physical activity and edentulism remains unclear. Materials and methods The CHARLS provided the data for this study. A total of 6,480 participants were enrolled in this study, of whom 46.02% were male and 53.98% were female. The edentulism was defined according to self-report and physical activity volume can be represented by metabolic equivalents. Multiple logistic regression, smooth curve fitting, threshold effects analysis, and Cox regression models were used to explore the relationship between physical activity volume and edentulism. Results In the fully adjusted model, physically active participants had a 24% lower risk of edentulism compared to those who were physically inactive. Then, we subdivided participants with adequate physical activity into four levels: 600 ≤ PAV
