Du W, Yan C, Wang Y, Song C, Li Y, Wang Z
Published in Lipids in Health and Disease
Methodology
NHANES-based analysis of dietary magnesium intake and gallstone prevalence with mediation analysis of the atherogenic index of plasma
Key Findings
Higher dietary magnesium intake was inversely associated with gallstone prevalence, partly mediated by the atherogenic index of plasma
Conclusions
Dietary magnesium may lower gallstone risk partly via favourable lipid-related markers
Limitations
Cross-sectional design; self-reported dietary recall; mediation assumptions
Supplements Studied
Higher dietary magnesium intake was inversely associated with gallstone prevalence, partly mediated by the atherogenic index of plasma.
