Association between Serum Magnesium and Fractures: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies

Ligia J. Dominguez, Nicola Veronese, Stefano Ciriminna, Jose Luis Perez-Albela, Vania Flora Vasquez-Lopez, Santiago Rodas-Regalado, Giovanna Di Bella, Angela Parisi, Federica Tagliaferri, Mario Barbagallo

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the impact of serum magnesium on the risk of fractures. Four papers with a total of 119,755 participants were included in the systematic review. The findings suggested that lower serum magnesium concentrations were associated with a significantly higher risk of incident fractures. Further research is needed to confirm these results in other populations and explore the potential role of serum magnesium in fracture prevention.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed the evidence on the association between exposure to air pollution and osteoporosis-related outcomes. The findings suggest that PM2.5, PM10, and nitrogen dioxide may be associated with decreased bone density, osteoporotic fractures, and osteoporosis. However, due to limitations in the number of studies, heterogeneity, and publication bias, caution should be exercised in interpreting the results.
