Low Dietary Magnesium and Overweight/Obesity in a Mediterranean Population: A Detrimental Synergy for the Development of Hypertension. The SUN Project

Abstract: Hypertension is the strongest independent modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease. We aimed to investigate the association of magnesium intake with incident hypertension in a Mediterranean population, and the potential modification of this association by body mass index (BMI). We assessed 14,057 participants of the SUN (Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra) prospective cohort (67.0% women) initially free of hypertension. At baseline, a validated 136-item food frequency questionnaire was administered. W… Show more

“…In the SUN (Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra) project, during a mean of 9.6 years follow-up of 14,057 adults dietary magnesium intake below 200 mg/d was associated with the risk of incident hypertension, stronger for overweight/obese participants. 41 In a systematic review of 32 randomized clinical trials, magnesium supplementation (48–450 mg/d) resulted in a reduction in BMI of 0.21 kg/m 2 . 37 The beneficial effect was mainly observed among those with magnesium deficiency and obesity at baseline.…”

“…A total of 36,081 participants were included in this study. We excluded (a) 38,807 respondents who lacked follow-up; (b) 149 respondents whose age at the time of death was less than 35 years; (c) 5803 respondents whose dietary zinc/vitamin B6 intake was 0 or deficient; (d) 3573 respondents who reported total energy intake exceeding predetermined limits (<500 or >3500 kcal/day for women and <800 or >4000 kcal/day for men) or total energy intake deficit [ 18 ]; (e) 7641 respondents who had been diagnosed with congestive heart failure/coronary artery disease/angina/heart attack/stroke; (f) 8 respondents with missing sample weights. The detailed exclusion criteria for inclusion are shown in Figure 1 .…”

“…While Mg supplements tend to protect against myopathy and have only brief diarrhea or moderate gastrointestinal distress as a side effect, statins elevate hepatic enzymes, may lead to myopathy, and have many additional side effects [ 116 , 119 , 123 , 131 , 175 , 176 , 177 , 178 ] ( Table S1 ). Statins and normal Mg levels work both to prevent blood coagulation, reduce inflammation, and prevent atherogenesis formation [ 114 , 115 , 117 , 118 , 129 , 132 , 179 ].…”
