Abstract

Objectives: This study investigated whether fluoride was associated with an increased prevalence of high blood pressure (BP) among adolescents in the United States.

Methods: The study sample consisted of 2015-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey participants aged 13-17 years. Independent-samples t-tests, Chi-square tests, and regression models were used to analyze the data.

Results: A total of 814 participants met the study criteria. The findings showed that the proportion of patients with high levels of water or plasma fluoride in the high BP group was higher than that in the normal BP group. However, after adjusting for sociodemographic covariates, neither water nor plasma fluoride levels were significantly associated with a high BP.

Conclusions: This study did not find an association between either water or plasma fluoride levels and high BP. Further study is needed to exclude a dose dependent effect at higher levels of fluoride.

氟化物暴露与血压之间的关系。

目的：本研究调查了氟是否与美国青少年高血压（BP）患病率增加有关。方法：研究样本包括2015-2016年全国健康和营养检查调查参与者，年龄13-17岁年。采用独立样本t检验、卡方检验和回归模型对数据进行分析。结果：共有814名参与者符合研究标准。研究结果显示，高血压组中高水或血浆氟含量患者的比例高于正常血压组。然而，在调整了社会人口学协变量后，无论是水还是血浆氟化物水平都与高血压无关。结论：本研究未发现水或血浆氟化物水平与高血压之间存在关联。需要进一步的研究来排除高氟水平下的剂量依赖性效应。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Public Health Research (JPHR) is an online Open Access, peer-reviewed journal in the field of public health science. The aim of the journal is to stimulate debate and dissemination of knowledge in the public health field in order to improve efficacy, effectiveness and efficiency of public health interventions to improve health outcomes of populations. This aim can only be achieved by adopting a global and multidisciplinary approach. The Journal of Public Health Research publishes contributions from both the “traditional'' disciplines of public health, including hygiene, epidemiology, health education, environmental health, occupational health, health policy, hospital management, health economics, law and ethics as well as from the area of new health care fields including social science, communication science, eHealth and mHealth philosophy, health technology assessment, genetics research implications, population-mental health, gender and disparity issues, global and migration-related themes. In support of this approach, JPHR strongly encourages the use of real multidisciplinary approaches and analyses in the manuscripts submitted to the journal. In addition to Original research, Systematic Review, Meta-analysis, Meta-synthesis and Perspectives and Debate articles, JPHR publishes newsworthy Brief Reports, Letters and Study Protocols related to public health and public health management activities.
