Larger Amounts of Fluoride in drinking water causes higher risks of bone and hip fractures
Chinese populations that were exposed to larger amounts of Fluoride in drinking water (over 4.32 ppm) had higher risks of bone and hip fractures.

Results
The study concluded that the long term exposure of high levels of fluoride in it, creates more potential risk for fracturing bones. Although this study was only conducted in a narrow ecological scope, further studies need to be more specific in the research of their subjects and precise in the determining factors of individuals bone fluroide, bone mass and bone strength in relation to the fractures.
