Efectos Principales

Magnesium supplementation did not increase calciprotein crystallization (T 50) [β = 6 min, P = 0.491]

Magnesium supplementation did not increase carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) [β = 0.5 m/s, P = 0.180]

Supplementation increased 24-h urine magnesium excretion (P < 0.001)

La Evidencia Sugiere

No significant change in calciprotein crystallization with magnesium [β = 6 min, P = 0.491]
No significant reduction in arterial stiffness [β = 0.5 m/s, P = 0.180]
Significant increase in urine magnesium excretion (P < 0.001)

A quién se aplica

Older individuals aged 65 and above
Patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes
Individuals with peripheral macrovascular complications

Tener en Cuenta

Results may not apply to younger populations or those without diabetes.
The study focused only on magnesium citrate and did not explore other forms of magnesium.
Further studies are needed to assess long-term effects and other potential benefits.

Entre Líneas

The study may have limited generalizability due to the specific population studied.
Sample size and duration may not be sufficient to detect subtle effects.
Potential confounding factors were not fully explored.
