Resumen

La fluoración de los suministros públicos de agua es una medida importante para prevenir la caries dental y está vinculada al objetivo 6 del desarrollo sostenible. El objetivo del estudio fue promover una evaluación estatal del contenido de fluoruro en el agua. Para eso, el análisis de datos secundarios del SISAGUA (ciudad, año, fecha, origen y punto de colecta; forma de abastecimiento; sistema de abastecimiento; concentraciones de cloro y flúor) y del IBGE (IDH, población, índice de desarrollo municipal FIRJAN y población estimada) para distribución espacial y análisis de factores de riesgo. De las 26.390 muestras recolectadas, solo el 17,8% presentó un contenido ideal de flúor, con mayor prevalencia en las recolectas realizadas en 2016, en áreas urbanas aisladas, en sistemas de abastecimiento de agua y con presencia de cloro por encima del óptimo (p < 0,001) . De los 182 municipios evaluados, solo el 16,7% tuvo la mayoría de muestras recolectadas con contenido ideal de flúor. En un análisis multivariado, los municipios con población menor de 30 mil habitantes tuvieron una prevalencia de contenido inadecuado de flúor (por debajo o por encima del ideal) 2,12 (IC95%=1,92-4,88) veces mayor que los municipios con gran población. Se concluye que menos de la quinta parte de la población de Ceará está expuesta a niveles adecuados de fluoruro en el suministro público de agua y las ciudades con población inferior a 30 mil habitantes son las más afectadas.
