“…Previous studies noted substantial variation in the mineral content of bottled water in Europe 22 and also globally across 21 countries 3 . Globally, the median calcium and bicarbonate levels of sparkling water varied by factors of 7.4 and 57.3, respectively, and for still water 18.7 and 12.6, respectively 3 .…”

“…We compared our findings to the average mineral content of bottled still and bottled sparkling mineral waters available in the two main supermarket chains in Australia. These data were extracted from a previously published multicontinental descriptive study conducted in 21 countries, which was also the first study to investigate the mineral composition of bottled drinkable water in the context of KSD 3 …”

Objectives The objective of this study is to investigate the variations in mineral content of tap drinking water across major Australian cities, compared with bottled still and sparkling water, and discuss the possible implications on kidney stone disease (KSD). Materials and Methods The mineral composition of public tap water from 10 metropolitan and regional Australian cities was compared using the drinking water quality reports published from 2019 to 2021 by the respective water service utilities providers. Specifically, average levels of calcium, bicarbonate, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and sulphates were compared with published mineral content data from bottled still and sparkling drinking water in Australia. Results The median or mean (depending on report output) mineral composition was highly variable for calcium (range 1.3 to 20.33 mg/L), magnesium (range 1.1 to 11.2 mg/L), bicarbonate (range 12 to 79 mg/L), sodium (range 3 to 47.1 mg/L), potassium (range 0.4 to 3.23 mg/L) and (sulphates range <1 to 37.4 mg/L). Calcium, magnesium and bicarbonate levels in tap water were lower than in bottled sparkling water. Consumption of 3 L/day of the most calcium rich tap water would fulfil 4.7% of the RDI, compared with 8.7% with bottled sparkling water. Consumption of 3 L of the most magnesium rich tap water would fulfil 8% of the RDI, compared with 13.6% with bottled sparkling water. Conclusion The mineral content of tap drinking water varied substantially across major Australian city centres. Bottled sparkling water on average provided higher levels of calcium, bicarbonate and magnesium and may be preferred for prevention of calcium oxalate stones. These findings may assist counselling of patients with KSD depending on geographic location in the context of other modifiable risk factors and 24‐h urine analysis results.

“…Notably, studies have identi ed a strong association between drinking water quality and the incidence of urinary calculi 34 35 . For example, Stoots and colleagues studied mineral content in drinking water and found that water intake is critical for stone prevention and mineral content in water can affect stone formation, bone health, and cardiovascular (CVD) risk 35 . From 1995 to 2016, the incidence of urinary calculi in Wuwei showed a uctuating but growing trend.…”

Objective: This long-term retrospective study explored the cause of increasing urinary calculi in Wuwei, China, from 1995 to 2016.Methods: Joinpoint v10.0, SPSS v22.0, and Excel 2019 were adopted to extract and analyze the medical records of patients with urolithiasis from 12 hospitals in Wuwei city. ArcGIS v10.8 was employed to establish a geographical distribution map and spatial and spatiotemporal analyses were applied to detect epidemic clusters using SaTScan v9.6.Results: Among the 5 497 patients with urolithiasis (mean age 43.07 ± 15.95 years), the majority were male (3 843, 69.9%), resulting in a sex ratio of 2.32:1. The incidence of urolithiasis in males and females showed an overall upward trend, with an annual percentage change (APC) of 15.1% (95% confidence interval (CI): 12.3%–18.1%) and 9.4% (95% CI: 16.4%–22.5%), respectively. From 1995 to 2016, the temporal and spatial distribution of urolithiasis showed an increasing trend in overall incidence and area, and we identified four clusters that allowed for the development and dynamic monitoring of urolithiasis in Wuwei. With the implementation of the new Rural Cooperative Medical Care System (NRCMS), improved insurance reimbursement and coverage for urolithiasis should help reduce the disease burden.Conclusions: In this study, the incidence of urolithiasis showed an upward trend between 1995 and 2016. Regular disease screening and early diagnosis for high-risk populations should be strengthened, which will help improve the prevention and treatment of urolithiasis. This study should provide a reference for local governments to initiate policies for the prevention and treatment of urolithiasis.

“…Os minerais são compostos inorgânicos que estão presentes na água sob forma iônica e por isso são facilmente absorvidos pelo trato gastrointestinal. Sua ingestão adequada promove a distribuição dos nutrientes pelos diferentes órgãos do corpo, auxilia na regulação da temperatura corpórea, elimina as toxinas por meio da urina e da transpiração e estimula o trânsito intestinal [1,2].…”

A água mineral é um recurso proveniente de fonte natural e importante à saúde humana, por possuir características químicas e físico-químicas em sua composição necessárias para a manutenção do equilíbrio adequado de diversos processos bioquímicos e mecanismos fisiológicos que ocorrem no organismo humano. Ainda, existe uma preocupação com a ingestão de contaminantes inorgânicos, de origem natural ou antropogênica, uma vez que esses elementos, mesmo em baixas concentrações, podem ser tóxicos e representar um problema de Saúde Pública. Portanto, é primordial avaliar a qualidade das águas minerais que são disponibilizadas para consumo da população, em atendimento à legislação Resolução-RDC 274/2005, quanto aos níveis de metais e semimetais. Este trabalho teve como objetivo realizar a quantificação dos elementos químicos Al, Ag, As, Ba, Be, Ca, Cd, Cr, Cu, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Se, Pb, Tl e Zn, em 10 amostras de águas minerais envasadas de procedência nacional, coletadas pela Vigilância Sanitária do Estado de São Paulo no comércio local, como parte integrante do Programa Paulista de Alimentos, entre 2018 e 2019, por Espectrometria de Massas por Plasma Indutivamente Acoplado. Para os elementos previstos na legislação vigente, foram obtidos resultados satisfatórios para todas as amostras de águas minerais analisadas. Para os demais analitos avaliados, os níveis obtidos também estavam abaixo dos valores preconizados pelas regulamentações internacionais. Os resultados obtidos neste estudo indicaram que as águas minerais das diferentes marcas comercializadas na cidade de São Paulo são adequadas e seguras para o consumo da população, em relação aos parâmetros avaliados.
