Whereas in the general population magnesium deficits are most often thought to result mainly in calf cramps (which are generally not considered to be life threatening), it is less well known that a magnesium deficit induced by a magnesium-deficient diet in humans resulted in severe cardiac arrhythmias [5] . Other studies as, for example, an epidemiological study in Germany showed that low serum...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We aimed to investigate the associations of dietary and total potassium, magnesium, and calcium intakes with stroke occurrence. METHODS A prospective cohort study was conducted among 36 094 participants aged 21 to 70 years. Dietary intake was assessed with a food frequency questionnaire. RESULTS During 12 years of follow-up, 631 strokes occurred. After adjustment for ...

To assess the association between dietary magnesium intake and hyperuricemia in United States (US) adults, we extracted 26,796 US adults aged 20-85 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) in 2001-2014. All dietary intake was measured through 24 h dietary recall method. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the association betwee...

Thirty-six daily duplicate diet samples were collected from 12 healthy female Japanese vegans and sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, iodine, selenium, chromium and molybdenum in the diets were measured to estimate mineral and trace element intake by Japanese vegans. Significantly higher intake of potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, copper, mang...

BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes (DM), metabolic syndrome (MetS), and inflammation are linked to reduced magnesium and fiber intakes; these associations are attenuated by adjustment for each of these nutrients. OBJECTIVE We investigated the association among magnesium and fiber intakes, metabolic variables, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) values. DESIGN Cross-sectional analyses w...

The influence of long-term alterations in dietary magnesium intake on blood pressure and on the antihypertensive effect of the calcium antagonist nifedipine was investigated in normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) and in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). The rats were fed a diet either high (1%), normal (0.1%), or low (0.01%) in magnesium for 12 weeks (WKY) and 20 weeks (SHR), respectively. Nif...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether overweight children and adolescents have lower serum concentration and lower dietary intake of magnesium compared to those with normal weight; and to study the correlation of serum magnesium levels with components of metabolic syndrome in children and adolescents. DESIGN Cross-sectional, comparative study. SETTING General/Pediatric Endocrinolgy OPD tertiary c...

OBJECTIVE Systemic inflammation is associated with both the dietary intake of magnesium, and depression. Limited experimental and clinical data suggest an association between magnesium and depression. Thus, there are reasons to consider dietary magnesium as a variable of interest in depressive disorders. The aim of the present study was to examine the association between magnesium intake and de...
