Effect of Fluorosis On Serum Total Protein Level In A Fluoride Endemic Zone: A Cross-Sectional Observational study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fluorosis is a major public health problem in India now a days as most of the population is dependent on ground water. This cross-sectional observational study has been performed in the fluoride endemic zones of Bankura district of West Bengal to evaluate the effect of fluorosis on serum total protein level. This study was carried out in the Hirbandh block of Bankura, on 80 subjects by using simple random sampling among which 42 were cases. The serum samples were collected from the cases and the serum fluoride was estimated by IonMeter and serum total protein level was determined by auto-analyzer and were compared with age and sex matched controls. The serum fluoride was found to have a statistically insignificant relationship with serum total protein in the study group. The serum level of fluoride was higher in study group but the total protein level was lower than those of comparison group.
