Abstract

Fluoride levels of 600 samples of iliac crest bone in ash weight were correlated with age. They showed a near linearship with age. The yearly rate of accumulation of fluoride in bone was found to be 25.589 ug/g bone ash weight. This accumulation rate could be met by the ingestion of 0.867 mg/day of fluoride. The derivation of this figure is indicated and considered in relation to known ranges of dietary and other levels of fluoride ingestion.

  • Urinary minerals excretion among primary schoolchildren in Dubai—United Arab Emirates.

    Introduction Urinary excretion of calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P), iodine and fluoride is used to assess their statuses and/or the existence of metabolic abnormalities. In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the urinary concentration of these minerals among children have not been documented. Materials and methods A cross-sectional study, including 593 subjects (232

  • Health risk assessment in children living in an urban area with hydrofluorosis: San Luis Potosí Mexico case study.

    Background: Fluoride is an inorganic element, which can be found in high concentrations in groundwater. Its consumption and exposure have consequences on human health. The objective of this study was to evaluate fluoride exposure and develop a health risk assessment in children from an urban area with hydrofluorosis

  • Predictors of Plasma Fluoride Concentrations in Children and Adolescents.

    Despite increasing concerns about neurotoxicity of fluoride in children, sources of fluoride exposure apart from municipal water fluoridation are poorly understood. We aimed to describe the associations of demographics, drinking water characteristics, diet, and oral health behaviors with plasma fluoride concentrations in U.S. children. We used data from 3928 6–19-year-olds

    Highlights An inverse association was observed between water fluoride and childhood BP. Association between water fluoride and BP showed discrepancies in sex, age, arace. A negative association was found between plasma fluoride and BP only in other races. To examine the association between fluoride exposure and childhood blood pressure (BP), we
