Different studies have indicated that pineal gland calcification was significantly associated with age, sex, low altitude, low sunlight exposure, ethnicity, light, cell phone, fluoride intake, nutrition, and neurodegenerative diseases [Acer, et al.]. A modern lifestyle like using electromagnetic field (EMF)-emitting material such as cell phones and audio/video players; using fluoride in mouthwash, toothpaste, and tab water; and using herbicides were also considered as the critical risk factors for pineal gland calcification [Hasegawa, et al., Jarupat, et al., and Seneff, et al.]. The prevalence of pineal gland calcification was highest in older age individuals compared with those of young and also highest among obese.
