nihfluoridestudies has been a member of Linktree for 2 years and joined in May 2024. Resources nihfluoridestudies has populated their site with include: • 10. Malin et al. (2024). The first study in the United States to investigate the association between prenatal fluoride exposure in the United States and neurobehavioral outcomes in children. • 9. Hall et al. (2023). The first study to investigate the relationships between maternal fluoride exposure and thyroid function on children’s IQ. Testing of children at 3-4 years of age found that boys are impacted more. • 8. Goodman et al. (2022). The first study to investigate prenatal fluoride exposure and maternal iodine status in relation to the child’s IQ in boys and girls aged 3 to 4. Boys are impacted more. • 7. Adkins et al. (2022) found increased internalizing behavior, especially somatization, in adolescents with higher fluoride exposures. • 6. Cantoral et al. (2021) reported lower IQ in children at 24 months of age. Higher exposure to fluoride in pregnancy was associated with reduced cognitive outcome. • 5. Till et al. (2020) reported lower IQ in children at 3 – 4 years of age. Consumption of formula reconstituted with fluoridated water can lead to excessive fluoride intake. • 4. Green et al. (2019) reported lower IQ in children between 3 – 4 years of age. Women living in areas with fluoridated tap water compared with nonfluoridated water had significantly higher mean urinary fluoride concentrations. • 3. Thomas et al. (2018) reported lower IQ in children between 1 to 3 years of age. Only the abstract has been published, which reported pregnant women’s fluoride exposure is linked to lower IQ in their children . • 2. Bashash et al. (2018) on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The authors reported higher concentration of maternal urinary fluoride was associated with more ADHD-like symptoms in school-age children. • 1. Bashash et al. (2017) was the first of the NIEHS-funded studies and reported an increase in maternal urine fluoride of 1 mg/L associated with a drop in IQ of 5 to 6 points.
