This fact is highlighted by the very different forms the disease can take based on an individual’s nutritional status, health status, age, genetics, and exposure to aluminum. The study demonstrates a significant relationship between the fluoride concentrations in the water and the prevalence of skeletal fluorosis in an endemic fluorosis area.
