Association Between Dietary Magnesium Intake and All-Cause Mortality in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: Insights from NHANES 1999-2018.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study used a large US health survey to see if people with chronic kidney disease who ate more magnesium lived longer. Higher magnesium in the diet was tied to a lower chance of death from any cause. Because it only looked at existing data, it shows a link, not proof that magnesium is the reason. It cannot yet tell us how much magnesium to eat.
