Association Between Dietary Magnesium Intake and All-Cause Mortality in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: Insights from NHANES 1999-2018.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

Using a large U.S. health survey (NHANES, 1999–2018), researchers found that people with kidney disease who ate more magnesium were less likely to die during follow-up. This is an observational link, not proof that magnesium itself is the cause. It does not tell you how much to take.
