A recent study has uncovered a concerning link between magnesium deficiency and an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease.

The findings, published in the journal Nutrients, examine the impact of magnesium deficiency on cardiovascular health through a comprehensive review of existing literature.

Magnesium (Mg) is crucial for many bodily functions, including nerve transmission, muscle function, and bone development. Its deficiency can lead to various symptoms, such as headaches, fatigue, anxiety, and muscle cramps.

Researchers analyzed numerous studies to explore the relationship between magnesium deficiency and cardiovascular risk factors.

Studies from the late 1990s and early 2000s have consistently shown that inadequate dietary magnesium intake correlates with lower magnesium levels in the body, highlighting the importance of diet in maintaining adequate magnesium levels.

Since 2006, results from epidemiological studies, randomized controlled trials, and meta-analyses have shown that body magnesium levels significantly influence the risk of hypertension, heart failure, and mortality from heart disease.

Recent studies further support these findings. Research conducted since 2018 reveals a clear correlation between lower magnesium levels and increased risks of hypertension, stroke, coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, and heart failure.

The researchers explained that magnesium deficiency could elevate inflammatory and oxidative stress, negatively affect lipid metabolism and vascular endothelial function, and ultimately increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Population surveys indicate that over a quarter of adults may be magnesium deficient, which could lead to chronic latent magnesium deficiency.

While there is no one-size-fits-all recommendation for magnesium intake, the researchers emphasize that individuals with higher body weights may require more.
