Official Title: Association of Dietary Magnesium Intake and Circulating Magnesium Concentration With Metabolic Syndrome: A Dose-response Meta-analysis

Brief Summary:

Magnesium is an essential mineral found in many foods; rich sources include whole grains, green leafy vegetables, coffee, and legumes. Magnesium is a critical cofactor in >300 enzymatic reactions, including those related to energy metabolism. Reduced magnesium intake and serum concentrations have been detected, both cross-sectionally and prospectively,in type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and cardiovascular diseases.

Different studies have reported inadequate magnesium intake and low serum magnesium concentrations may correlated also with metabolic syndrome, defined as a cluster of metabolic disorders including obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia and impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes mellitus. Previous studies on this subject, however, reported contradicting results. Some investigations reported inadequate magnesium intake and low serum magnesium concentrations while others did not.

To our knowledge, the epidemiological evidence on the relation between dietary magnesium intake and risk of metabolic syndrome has not yet been summarized.Therefore, the investigators will perform a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis to assess the association between dietary and circulating magnesium level and risk of metabolic syndrome.


Detailed Summary:

Background: Increasing evidence has suggested inadequate magnesium intake and low serum magnesium concentrations may correlated with metabolic syndrome. However, whether or not dietary or circulating magnesium at usual intakes or concentrations influences risk of metabolic syndrome is inconsistent

Objective:To our knowledge, the epidemiological evidence on the relation between dietary magnesium intake and risk of metabolic syndrome has not yet been summarized.Therefore, to improve evidence-based guidance for dietary guidelines, the investigators will perform a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis to assess the association between dietary and circulating magnesium level and risk of metabolic syndrome.

Design: The planning, conduct and reporting of the proposed meta-analyses will follow Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.

Data search and screening: The PubMed, Cochrane CENTRAL, and EMBASE databases via Elsevier will be searched using appropriate search terms.

Study selection: Published articles will be included: Randomized, controlled studies, case-control studies, cross-sectional studies and cohort studies. All studies enrolled adults (age 18 years) and reported metabolic syndrome as the outcome of interest and magnesium intake or serum magnesium concentration as a risk factor or intervention. They reported adjusted risk ratios, including odds ratios, relative risks, hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), or they reported sufficient data to calculate these values for 3 or more quantitative categories of dietary magnesium intake levels. They reported risk ratios with metabolic syndrome criteria according to the National Cholesterol Education Panel (NC
