This study’s different results suggest past, present, and potentially future exposure to F- levels above the international drinking water guidelines, and that consequently represents a health risk for children and women whose drinking water source is the La Onza well or wells with similar F- concentrations in the CARL. Since convenience sampling is non-probabilistic, it cannot pretend to be representative of the whole population. However, we have no reasons to believe (althou
4. Discussion
Cellular senescence is a pathophysiologica l phase in which the cell cycle is arrested and cells stop growing. In recent years, cellular senescence has been widely highlighted as one of the pathogenesis mechanisms that regulate various diseases such as tumors, degenerative diseases, and chronic diseases [20]. The reason and mechanism of cell senescence are not fully understood. Oxidative stress is the main external cause of cell senescence that is more generally accepted. Cells
Highlights
It is suggested that undernourished children may be more likely develop dental fluorosis.
Fluoride intake and excretion were measured in normal, wasted and stunted children.
Proportion of ingested fluoride excreted via urine was not related to nutritional status.
Nutritional status affected fingernail- but not toenail- fluoride concentration.

It has been suggested that undernourished children are more likely to develop d
