[Concentration of magnesium and lipids in blood serum in a group of young healthy medical students].

The concentration of magnesium and lipids was determined in the blood serum of 100 healthy medical students (57 women and 43 men) aged 22.3 on the average. Decreased values of magnesium concentration below 0.8 mmol/l were found in 28% of the studied subjects. In 14% of the persons magnesium concentration was below the lower range of own laboratory normal values which were 0.66 for men, and 0.70 mmol/l for women. Hypercholesterolaemia was found in 15% of the studied subjects. No relation was shown between magnesium concentration and the concentration of most blood lipids.
