Abstract Fluoride analyses were carried out on blood samples from fasting subjects and on iliac crest biopsies obtained at autopsy, using an ion-selective electrode. Correlation coefficients of 0.53 and 0.67 respectively were determined between plasma fluoride and age, and bone fluoride and age. The proportionate rates of increase of fluoride levels in plasma and bone with age and the similarity of the correlation coefficients suggest that the fasting plasma fluoride concentration is in equilibrium with bone fluoride.
