ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Numerous studies have shown inverse associations between serum magnesium (Mg) and risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but studies of dietary Mg have not been consistent.AIM:
To examine the association of a Mg-rich diet score with risks of CVD, coronary heart disease (CHD), and ischemic stroke in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study.METHODS:
There were 15,022 Black and White adults without prevalent CVD at baseline (1987-89) included in this analysis. Diet was assessed at two visits 6 years apart using an interviewer-administered 66-item food frequency questionnaire. A Mg-rich diet score was created that included servings of whole grain products, nuts, vegetables, fruit, legumes, coffee, and tea. Cox proportional hazard regression evaluated associations of incident CVD, CHD and stroke across quintiles of Mg-rich diet score, adjusting for demographics, lifestyle factors, and clinical characteristics.RESULTS:
Over >30 years of follow-up, there were 3,531 incident CVD events (2,562 CHD, 1,332 ischemic stroke). Participants who consumed more Mg-rich foods were older, female, White, had lower blood pressure, fewer were not current smokers, and more reported being physically active. A Mg-rich diet was inversely associated with incident CVD (HRQ5 vs Q1=0.87, 95%CI 0.77-0.98, ptrend=0.02) CHD (HRQ5 vs Q1=0.82, 95%CI 0.71-0.95, ptrend=0.01); however, the diet-stroke association was null (HRQ5 vs Q1=1.00, 95%CI 0.82-1.22, ptrend=0.97).CONCLUSIONS:
Consuming a diet including Mg-rich foods, such as whole grains, nuts, vegetables, fruits, legumes, coffee and tea, is associated with lower risk of CVD and CHD, but not ischemic stroke.
This study showed an inversely association between a magnesium-rich (mg-rich) diet score and risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in adults aged 45-64 at baseline (1987-89) and followed for over 30 years. The mg-rich diet score was created by summing the reported number of daily servings consumed from whole grain products, fruit, vegetables, legumes, nuts, coffee and tea.A mg-rich diet score may be associated with lower risk of developing CVD and coronary heart disease, but not ischemic stroke.
