Ca(2+)/Finding

One finding, on its own

A single claim from the graph, with the evidence strength computed from its study, the sentence it was drawn from, and the paper. This address does not change.

  • Ca(2+) — decreases lung cancer incidence

    Evidence strength: limited.Finding
    “Dietary intakes of calcium and phosphorus were inversely associated with lung cancer risk; those in the highest quartile had 34% and 45% lower risk, respectively, than those in the lowest quartile (HR = 0.66; 95% CI: 0.48, 0.91; P for trend = 0.007 for calcium intake and HR = 0.55; 95% CI: 0.36, 0.85; P for trend = 0.02 for phosphorus intake) (Table 3).”
