Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of fluorine and ADAMTS14_rs4747096 on bone mineral density (BMD). The survey was explored in a cross-sectional case–control study conducted in Shanxi, China. The BMD was measured by an ultrasonic bone mineral density instrument. The urine fluoride concentration was detected using the fluoride ion electrode. ADAMTS14_rs4747096 polymorphism was examined by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing. The multinomial logistic regressions found that the urine fluoride was a risk factor for osteopenia (OR = 1.379, 95% CI: 1.127–1.687, P = 0.0018), osteoporosis (OR = 1.480, 95% CI: 1.1138–1.926, P = 0.0035), and rs4747096 AG + GG genotype increased the risk of osteoporosis (OR = 2.017, 95% CI: 1.208–3.369, P = 0.0073). In addition, the interaction between urine fluoride and rs4747096 polymorphism on the risk of decreased BMD also was observed. The study suggests that fluoride exposure and mutation G allele in ADAMTS14_rs4747096 may be risk factors for the decrease of BMD. And there is an interaction between the two influencing factors.
