Adjusted dose-response association between daily dietary calcium intake and risk for cardiovascular death.

Abstract

<p>Calcium intake was coded using an RCS function with four knots arbitrarily located at the 0.05, 0.35, 0.65, and 0.95 percentile. Y-axis represents the adjusted hazard ratio for cardiovascular death for any value of calcium supplement/dietary intake compared to individuals with 1000 mg per day intake. Dashed lines are 95% confidence intervals. Knots are represented by dots.</p
