PY - 2019 DA - 2019/03/29 TI - Fluoride exposure and pubertal development in children living in Mexico City JO - Environmental Health SP - 26 VL - 18 IS - 1 AB - Previous animal and ecological studies have provided evidence for an earlier sexual maturation in females in relation to fluoride exposure; however, no epidemiological studies have examined the association between fluoride exposure and pubertal development in both boys and girls using individual-level biomarkers of fluoride. Capitalizing on an ongoing Mexican birth cohort study, we examined the association between concurrent urinary fluoride levels and physical markers of pubertal development in children.
