Abstract
To explore the association between fluoride exposure and depression / anxiety in adults, the 1,169 participants were recruited. The demographic information of participants was obtained through questionnaire survey and physical measurements. Morning urine samples were collected, and urinary fluoride (UF) level was determined. Changes in depression and anxiety levels were evaluated using the Patient Health Questionnaire-2 and General Anxiety Disorder-2 scales. The association between psychiatric disorders and UF levels was analyzed. In the total population, the prevalence of depression and anxiety were 3.17% and 4.19%, respectively. These results showed no significant association between depression / anxiety scale scores and UF levels. Logistic regression suggested no significant association between depression / anxiety levels, and UF levels, but there was an interaction between UF and income on depression. Our findings highlighted the interaction between fluoride exposure and monthly income, which may affect depression in adults.
期刊介绍：
International Journal of Environmental Health Research ( IJEHR ) is devoted to the rapid publication of research in environmental health, acting as a link between the diverse research communities and practitioners in environmental health. Published articles encompass original research papers, technical notes and review articles. IJEHR publishes articles on all aspects of the interaction between the environment and human health. This interaction can broadly be divided into three areas: the natural environment and health – health implications and monitoring of air, water and soil pollutants and pollution and health improvements and air, water and soil quality standards; the built environment and health – occupational health and safety, exposure limits, monitoring and control of pollutants in the workplace, and standards of health; and communicable diseases – disease spread, control and prevention, food hygiene and control, and health aspects of rodents and insects. IJEHR is published in association with the International Federation of Environmental Health and includes news from the Federation of international meetings, courses and environmental health issues.
