The mineral composition of drinking water as one of the risk factors for formation of the pathology of the cardiovascular system
Abstract
A long-term laboratory study of drinking water to the level of calcium, magnesium and hardness in the different sources of water: the Lena river, lakes and underground water from wells. It was established that the low calcium and magnesium, as well as the total water hardness were drink detected in lake water. An analysis of statistical data on morbidity, mortality, and the infestation has revealed that people who low-mineralized, soft lake water are more susceptible to diseases of the circulatory system, as evidenced by relatively high coefficient of correlation between mortality from cardiovascular diseases and hardness of drinking water due to the presence of salts magnesium and calcium.
