Prevalence and aetiology of juvenile skeletal fluorosis in the south-west of the Hai district, Tanzania–a community-based prevalence and case-control study

February 2013 | Tropical Medicine & International Health | Jarvis HG, Heslop P, Kisima J, Gray WK, Ndossi G, Maguire A, Walker RW. | 18(2):222-9.
Fifty-six cases (34 males, 60.7%) of severe, deforming JSF were identified from the 1263 [691 females (54.7%) 88.0% of the entire village population] that were available for musculoskeletal examination. This represented a prevalence of 4.4% (95% CI, 3.3–5.6). Twenty-four cases of JSF (contained within 10 families) had at least one sibling who was also affected. The prevalence in males was 6.2% (95% CI, 4.2–8.2) and in females 3.1% (95% CI, 1.8–4.4). The age of the cases of JSF identified r

Renal failure and fluorosis
