Association between fluoride exposure in drinking water and cognitive deficits in children: A pilot study.

Fluoride (F) exposure in drinking water may lead to reduced cognitive function among children; however, findings largely remain inconclusive. In this pilot study, we examined associations between a range of chronic F exposures (low to high: 0.4 to 15.

Bone quality in fluoride-exposed populations: A novel application of the ultrasonic method.

Background: Various studies, mostly with animals, have provided evidence of adverse impacts of fluoride (F) on bone density, collagen and microstructure, yet its effects on overall bone quality (strength) has not been clearly or extensively characterized in human populations.

Objective: In this observational study, we assessed variation in an integrated measures of bone quality in a population exposed to wide-ranging F levels (0.3 to 15.
