The estimated separate effects of Ca:Mg ratio, Mg, Ca, and Cr on the incidence of the first AMI among Finnish men in 1983, 1988, and 1993 (pooled data).
| Element | Posterior mean (%) | 95% HDR |
|---|---|---|
| Ca:Mg ratio | 3.1* | 0.5 to 5.7 |
| Mg (mg/L) | −3.0 | −5.9 to 0.1 |
| Ca (mg/L) | −0.1 | −1.0 to 0.8 |
| Cr (μg/L) | −13.2 | −46.9 to 16.1 |
Each effect was estimated in a separate spatial model. One unit increment in Ca:Mg ratio increases AMI risk by 3.1%.
95% HDR does not include zero.
