Objectives:
Assessment of fluoride with Vitamin D and biochemical parameters in obese individuals. Studies implicating vitamin D and fluoride need to be established.
Materials And Methods:
Ours is a retrospective study with a sample size of n = 70. Standard procedure and precautions were followed at each step during the collection of blood samples and processing.
Conclusion:
Vitamin D - fluoride-calcium-minerals intersect in various metabolic pathways and have intricacies with the omics. In conclusion, in-depth omics studies with larger population size implicating the physiological and pathological processes of human health and disease need to be considered in high-fluoride endemic areas.

Essential Minerals for Bone Health
Calcium and Phosphorus
Calcium is a critical component of bones, especially in the form of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. Since the body cannot make calcium, it must be obtained from the diet. However, calcium cannot be absorbed from the small intestine without...
Role of Vitamins in Maintaining Bone Health
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is involved in the process of bone remodeling. Retinoic acid, the active metabolite of Vitamin A, has nuclear receptors in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which are involved in bone remodeling.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor during the formation of osteoblast-related proteins, such as osteocalcin. Vitamin B12 plays a role...
