Fluorose osseuse
La fluorose osseuse est une maladie osseuse causée par une quantité excessive de fluor dans les os[1].
Symptômes[modifier | modifier le code]
Le fluor peut entrainer des difformités osseuses : genu valgum, genu varum, ostéoporose, osteosclérose, ciphose[2],[3],[4],[5],[6].
Le fluor peut entrainer une attitude dite "poker back"[7],[8], une impossibilité à effectuer un squat (position)[9], une respiration abdominale[9] et une capacité respiratoire réduite[10], de l'ostéoporose[10],[11].
