Abstract in brief

The study found that in healthy Mexican-mestizo adults, higher serum magnesium levels are linked to lower chances of having coronary artery calcification (CAC), hypertension, and type 2 diabetes.
Specifically, people in the highest magnesium group had about 48% lower odds of hypertension, 69% lower odds of diabetes, and 42% lower odds of calcification compared to those with the lowest magnesium levels.
Additionally, a small increase in serum magnesium was independently associated with a reduction in CAC, suggesting magnesium might play a protective role against cardiovascular disease.]
