Does magnesium concentration in drinking water affect mortality from acute myocardial infarction?
Does magnesium concentration in drinking water affect mortality from acute myocardial infarction?
Magnesium concentrations in drinking water do not appear to be associated with mortality from acute myocardial infarction, challenging the hypothesis that it is a key protective factor.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Drinking water magnesium levels warrant no role in AMI prevention; challenges ecological hypotheses of cardiovascular protection.
No evidence was found of an association between magnesium concentrations in drinking water supplies and mortality from acute myocardial infarction. These results do not support the hypothesis that magnesium is the key water factor in relation to mortality from heart disease.
