Highlights
Relatively low levels of fluoride exposure in US adolescents but with wide ranges.
Dose-dependent increase in prevalence of hyperuricemia with increasing fluoride levels.
Significant associations between plasma and water fluoride and hyperuricemia.
A positive relationship between water and plasma fluoride concentrations.
Potential role of chronic fluoride exposure in increased prevalence of hyperuricemia.
