摘要

DATA SOURCES: A qualified librarian searched 25 specialist databases, including Medline, Embase, Toxline and the Current Contents Science Citation Index, from database inception to February 2000. In addition, searches of Index Medicus (1945-1959) and Excerpta Medica (1955-1973) were undertaken by hand. Additional references were sought from individuals and organisations through a dedicated website for this review [www.york.ac.uk/inst/crd/fluoride.htm], and through members of a specifically designated advisory panel. Published and unpublished studies in any language were included. STUDY SELECTION: All study designs were included that compared the incidence of Down's syndrome in populations where different levels of fluoride occurred in water supplies, either naturally or added artificially. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS: Two reviewers independently assessed each paper for inclusion, and disagreements were resolved through consensus. A qualitative analysis was conducted. RESULTS: The six studies includedwere all ecological in design and had poor validity scores. The estimates of the crude relative risk ranged from 0.84 to 3.0. Four studies showed no significant association between the incidence of Down's syndrome and water fluoride level whereas two studies by the same author found a significant (P<0.05) positive association (increased Down's syndrome incidence with increased water fluoride level). Only two of the studies controlled for confounding factors and only one of these presented summary outcome measures. CONCLUSIONS: The evidence of an association between water fluoride level and Down's syndrome incidence is inconclusive. The quality of the studies included in the review was relatively low, however, and further high quality research is needed.
