Key result
Dietary magnesium intake was not significantly associated with multiple markers of vascular structure and function, including longitudinal changes in intima-media thickness (MD 0.01 mm; 95% CI -0.03 to 0.06).
Why the study?
Circulating and dietary magnesium inversely associate with CVD prevalence and mortality, but their association with measures of vascular structure and function required prospective examination.
Does higher dietary magnesium intake improve vascular structure and function in a high-risk older population?
Cohort (n=789)
No
Does higher dietary magnesium intake improve vascular structure and function in a high-risk older population?
Dietary magnesium intake was not associated with improvements in vascular structure or function over 8 years in a high-risk older Dutch cohort.
No association seen in high-risk older adults; leaves open whether magnesium affects vascular outcomes in trials.

Vermeulen et al. (2021) conducted a cohort in Cardiovascular risk (general population oversampled for impaired glucose metabolism) (n=789). Dietary magnesium intake vs. Lowest magnesium intake tertile was evaluated on Longitudinal change in intima-media thickness (IMT) (MD 0.01 mm, 95% CI -0.03, 0.06). Dietary magnesium intake was not significantly associated with multiple markers of vascular structure and function, including longitudinal changes in intima-media thickness (MD 0.01 mm; 95% CI -0.03 to 0.06).
