Magnesium deficiency can cause dyslipidemia and insulin hypersecretion, which may facilitate gallstone formation. However, the effect of long-term consumption of magnesium on the risk of gallstone disease is unknown.
We prospectively studied magnesium consumption and risk of gallstone disease in a cohort of 42,705 U.S. men from 1986 to 2002. Magnesium consumption was assessed using a validated semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire. Newly diagnosed gallstone disease was ascertained biennially.
We documented 2,195 incident cases of symptomatic gallstones during 560,810 person-years of follow-up. The age-adjusted relative risks (RRs) for men with total magnesium intake and dietary magnesium, when the highest and lowest quintiles were compared, were 0.67 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.59-0.77, P for trend <0.0001) and 0.67 (CI 0.59-0.76, P for trend <0.0001), respectively. After adjusting for multiple potential confounding variables, when extreme quintiles were compared, the multivariate RR of total magnesium intake (RR 0.72, CI 0.61-0.86, P for trend = 0.006) and dietary magnesium (RR 0.68, CI 0.57-0.82, P for trend = 0.0006) remained significant with a dose-response relationship.
Our findings suggest a protective role of magnesium consumption in the prevention of symptomatic gallstone disease among men.
镁缺乏可导致血脂异常和胰岛素分泌过多,这可能促进胆结石形成。然而,长期摄入镁对胆结石疾病风险的影响尚不清楚。
我们对1986年至2002年期间42705名美国男性队列中的镁摄入量与胆结石疾病风险进行了前瞻性研究。使用经过验证的半定量食物频率问卷评估镁摄入量。每两年确定一次新诊断的胆结石疾病。
在560810人年的随访期间,我们记录了2195例有症状胆结石的发病病例。比较最高和最低五分位数时,总镁摄入量和膳食镁摄入量男性的年龄调整相对风险(RR)分别为0.67(95%置信区间[CI]0.59 - 0.77,趋势P<0.0001)和0.67(CI 0.59 - 0.76,趋势P<0.0001)。在调整多个潜在混杂变量后,比较极端五分位数时,总镁摄入量(RR 0.72,CI 0.61 - 0.86,趋势P = 0.006)和膳食镁摄入量(RR 0.68,CI 0.57 - 0.82,趋势P = 0.0006)的多变量RR仍然显著,且呈剂量反应关系。
我们的研究结果表明,摄入镁在预防男性有症状胆结石疾病中具有保护作用。
