Information subsystem of the Ca/Mg ratio as a database for studying its influence on human health.

Abstract:

:Dalmatia is situated in the Dinaric karst in Southern Croatia. It is characterized by insufficient quantities of water during the summer months and a relatively excessive amount of rainfall during the winter and spring months. Other hydrographic characteristics of Dinaric carst include scarce and long surface streamflows with a few tributaries with changeable capacities, a small number of springs, and a relatively great number of submarine springs along the coast. The water supply and health-care institutions are especially interested in observing and monitoring water quality. A relational database has been developed for carrying out chemical analyses expressed by the Ca/Mg ratio since it is necessary to organize and integrate a large number of analytical and ecological health data. The database can serve as a methodological platform for the study of environmental factors influencing human health. The prototype database consists of data obtained by investigations which have been conducted by the water Examination Department of the Public Health Institute of the Split Dalmatian county (Croatia) University of Split Medical School. The database currently contains more than 2500 data.
