Also, the results showed that the degree of correlation (R) between the two variables for drinking water hardness levels and the percentage of high blood pressure in men was (-0.496) and in women was (-0.512) and in the total population over 30 years was (-0.61). Conclusion: Use of water with medium to high degree of hardness can reduce the risk of high blood pressure and consequently the risk of cardiovascular disease.
