Role of Diet Editing .
Brief introduction about NPPCF.
Slide3Fluorosis is a Public Health problem caused by excess intake of Fluoride mainly through drinking water or food products/drugs/ industrial pollutants over a long period of time.
It leads to health disorders like Dental
Fluorosis
, Skeletal
Fluorosis and Non-Skeletal Fluorosis. Desirable limit for Fluoride in drinking water, as per BIS standards, is 1.0 mg / Litre (1PPM). Permissible limit is 1.5 mg/ Litre (1.5PPM).Fluorosis impacts growth, development, economy and human resource development of the country
Background
Slide4Natural - Leaching of Fluoride from geological crust into drinking water.
Food and Beverages -
Black tea, black salt,
supari
. Drugs- Some anesthetic agents, antibiotics, antidepressants, fluoride toothpaste.Pollution - Dust from fluoride containing soil, from Mining, Industrial emissions. Sources of Fluoride
Slide5Fluorosis manifests as Dental, Skeletal and/or Non- Skeletal Fluorosis :-
Dental Fluorosis:
Chalky white teeth
Transverse yellow brown/dark brown bands Fluorosis Manifestations
Slide6Skeletal Fluorosis : Severe pain and stiffness in neck and back bone.
Severe pain and stiffness in joints.
Severe pain and rigidity in the hip region (pelvic girdle).
Inability to squat.
Ugly gait and posture. Increased girth, thickening and density of bone by X-ray.Knock knees/ Bow legs.Fluorosis Manifestations
Non skeletal Fluorosis Anemia and malnutrition.Gastro - intestinal problems:
Consistent abdominal pain, intermittent
diarrohea
/ constipation, blood in stool
Neurological manifestations: Nervousness & depression, tingling sensation in fingers and toes, excessive thirst and tendency to urinate frequently (Polydypsia and polyurea) Muscular manifestations: Muscle weakness & stiffness, pain in the muscle and loss of muscle power.
Slide8Other Effects of Excess FluorideFluoride has multiple role in deranging metabolic activities, besides the well defined symptoms of
Dental Fluorosis, Skeletal Fluorosis and Non-Skeletal
Fluorosis.Its
other adverse effects on the body are:-
(i) Damage to G.I. Mucosa. (ii) Injury to RBCs. Both the above effects lead to Anaemia / Malnutrition. Consequences are maternal mortality, infant mortality, low birth weight babies.Elimination of Fluoride from the body leads to remarkable improvement.

Slide12Preventive Measures:-(1) SAFE DRINKING WATER(2) DIET EDITING
FOODS TO TAKE
Milk, Yoghurt, Green leafy vegetables, fruits, Lemon,
AMLA,orange, tomato, guava, papaya. FOODS NOT TO TAKE Black salt, betel nut, tobacco chewing, (3) Avoid use of Fluoride tooth paste. (4) Calcium,Magnesium,Vitamin Supplements (C,D3,E) (5) Behaviour change.
Slide13Suggested Steps for Pregnant women in Antenatal Clinic
6 Steps
Step 1: Test
Hb
using portable HemoglobinometerStep 2: Test – Urine Fluoride level. if > 1.0 mg/LStep 3: Test Water for Fluoride
Step 4: Introduce Diet Editing + Diet counselling
Step 5: On every visit to ANC = Retrieve UFL
&
Hb
(iron + folic acid, hospital to supply)
Step 6: Record birth weight + other details from Labour room
register
Slide14Pregnancy outcome
Diet Editing +
Diet Counselling
+
Iron & Folic acid supplementation Diet Counselling + Iron & Folic acid supplementation
Iron + Folic acid supplementation does not have the desired impact due to
non-absorption of nutrients ;
If excess Fluoride is eliminated , leads to better absorption of nutrients & correction of malnutrition /
undernutrition

Diet Editing
&
Diet Counseling
Slide16Goal :- To Prevent and Control Fluorosis in the country. Objectives :-To collect, assess and use baseline survey data of fluoride levels from Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation for starting the project.
Comprehensive management of
Fluorosis
in the selected areas.
Capacity building for prevention , diagnosis and management of Fluorosis cases. National Programme for Prevention and Control of Fluorosis (NPPCF)
Slide17Surveillance of Fluorosis in the community. Capacity Building
at District level:-
Consultant(1),
Lab.Technician
(1) & Field Investigators (3) for six months.Establishment of diagnostic facilities through labs. in the affected Districts. Management of Fluorosis cases including treatment, surgery, reconstruction & rehabilitation. Health Education for prevention and control of Fluorosis.
