Association of Serum Magnesium Level with Insulin Resistance in Women with PCOS

Key Points

• To explore the relationship between serum magnesium levels and insulin resistance in women diagnosed with PCOS.
• Measured serum magnesium levels in women with PCOS
• Assessed insulin resistance using HOMA-IR model
• Conducted statistical analysis to determine correlations
• Low serum magnesium levels were associated with higher insulin resistance, with a correlation coefficient of -0.45 (p<0.05).
• Participants with serum magnesium <2 mg/dL had a significantly increased risk of insulin resistance (OR 3.2, 95% CI 1.5-6.8, p=0.002).
