Calcium and magnesium in drinking water and risk of myocardial infarction and stroke-a population-based cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The implication of calcium and magnesium in drinking water for cardiovascular disease is unclear.

Objectives

To assess the association of the concentration of calcium and magnesium in drinking water with incidence of myocardial infarction and stroke, accounting for dietary mineral intake.

Methods

We linked drinking water monitoring data to residential information of 26,733 women from the population-based Swedish Mammography Cohort, who completed a 96-item FFQ at baseline. Drinking water was categorized into low (magnesium <10 mg/L and calcium <50 mg/L) or high (magnesium ≥10 mg/L or calcium ≥50 mg/L) mineral concentration. Incident cases of myocardial infarction and stroke types were ascertained 1998-2019 using the National Patient Register.
