Magnesium Intake in Relation to Systemic Inflammation, Insulin Resistance, and the Incidence of Diabetes
OBJECTIVE To investigate the long-term associations of magnesium intake with incidence of diabetes , systemic inflammation , and insulin resistance among young American adults . RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 4,497 Americans , aged 18–30 years , who had no diabetes at baseline , were prospect ively examined for  incident diabetes based on quintiles of magnesium intake . We also investigated the associations between magnesium intake and inflammatory markers , i.e. , high-sensitivity C-reactive protein ( hs-CRP ) , interleukin-6 ( IL-6 ) , and fibrinogen , and the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance ( HOMA-IR ) . RESULTS During the 20-year follow-up , 330 incident cases of diabetes were identified . Magnesium intake was inversely associated with incidence of diabetes after adjustment for potential confounders . The multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio of diabetes for participants in the highest quintile of magnesium intake was 0.53 ( 95 % CI , 0.32–0.86 ; Ptrend < 0.01 ) compared with those in the lowest quintile . Consistently ,  magnesium  intake was significantly inversely associated with hs-CRP , IL-6 , fibrinogen , and HOMA-IR , and serum magnesium levels were inversely correlated with hs-CRP and HOMA-IR . CONCLUSIONS Magnesium intake was inversely longitudinally associated with incidence of diabetes in young American adults . This inverse association may be explained , at least in part , by the inverse correlations of magnesium intake with systemic inflammation and insulin resistance
