Magnesium Deficiency Linked to Higher Chronic Disease Risk: What Thai Readers Should Know
A 2024 study suggests that low magnesium levels may be connected to a greater risk of chronic degenerative diseases. Conducted by researchers in Australia and published in the European Journal of Nutrition, the research analyzed blood samples from 172 middle-aged adults to examine magnesium status and DNA damage markers. The findings indicate that those with the lowest magnesium levels showed elevated homocysteine, a marker linked to higher DNA damage and potential neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
