Abstract
We used the Orion fluoride electrode system to determine the normal range of serum ionic fluoride concentrations and to investigate its relationship to sex and age (A). 87 normal men, aged 18-92 years (mean, 46 years), and 49 normal women, age 19-64 years (mean, 38 years), participated in the study. At the 95% confidence limits, males less than 45 years old had a normal range of 0.29 to 1.52 mumol/litre and males greater than or equal to 45 years old 0.29 + 0.0101 (A-45) to 1.52 + 0.0101 (A-45) mumol/litre. Females, however, had a normal range of 0.022A – 0.32 to 0.022A + 1.07 mumol/litre. A group of 51 men 18-44 years old was compared with a group of 36 men 46-92 years old. The mean serum F- of the older group was shown to be significantly greater (P less than 0.01) than that of the younger group. Factors related to serum ionic fluoride values are (a) tea as an important source of dietary F-, (b) the lack of significant variation during daytime hours, and (c) the lack of significant difference in concentration between serum and plsma F-.

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

Association between fluoride exposure and cardiometabolic risk in peripubertal Mexican children.
Highlights Fluoride has been added to table salt in Mexico to reduce dental caries. Human studies of fluoride exposure and metabolic syndrome are rare. We examined the association between fluoride and cardiometabolic risk factors. Fluoride may increase the risk of cardiometabolic disorders in Mexican girls. BACKGROUND: Several animal studies have suggested

Non-Endemic Skeletal Fluorosis: Causes And Associated Secondary Hyperparathyroidism (Case Report and Literature Review).
Highlights Fluorocarbon “huffing” is an under-appreciated cause of skeletal fluorosis (SF) We present a SF case with hyperparathyroidism, osteosclerosis, and osteomalacia SF may go undetected due to variation in symptoms, radiology, and biochemistry Dietary calcium, prior bone health, and skeletal F exposure influence SF features SF is common in

Fluoride exposure and sleep patterns among older adolescents in the United States: a cross-sectional study of NHANES 2015–2016.
Abstract Background Fluoride from environmental sources accumulates preferentially in the pineal gland which produces melatonin, the hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. However, the effects of fluoride on sleep regulation remain unknown. This population-based study examined whether chronic low-level fluoride exposure is associated with sleep patterns and daytime sleepiness among older adolescents

Association between fluoride exposure and blood pressure in children and adolescents aged 6 to19 years in the United States: NHANES, 2013–2016.
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

Skeletal Fluorosis in the U.S.
Although there has been a notable absence of systematic studies on skeletal fluorosis in the U.S., the available evidence indicates that the consumption of artificially fluoridated water is likely to cause skeletal fluorosis and other forms of bone disease in people with kidney disease and other vulnerable populations.

Kidney Patients Are at Increased Risk of Fluoride Poisoning
It is well established that individuals with kidney disease are susceptible to suffering bone damage and other ill effects from low levels of fluoride exposure. Kidney patients are at elevated risk because when kidneys are damaged they are unable to efficiently excrete fluoride from the body. As a result, kidney patients

Fluoridation of drinking water and chronic kidney disease: Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence
A fairly substantial body of research indicates that patients with chronic renal insufficiency are at an increased risk of chronic fluoride toxicity. Patients with reduced glomerular filtration rates have a decreased ability to excrete fluoride in the urine. These patients may develop skeletal fluorosis even at 1 ppm fluoride in the drinking water.

Exposure Pathways Linked to Skeletal Fluorosis
Excessive fluoride exposure from any source -- and from all sources combined -- can cause skeletal fluorosis. Some exposure pathways , however, have been specifically identified as placing individuals at risk of skeletal fluorosis. These exposure pathways include: Fluoridated Water for Kidney Patients Excessive Tea Consumption High-Fluoride Well Water Industrial Fluoride Exposure Fluorinated Pharmaceuticals (Voriconazole
