Magnesium is abundant in nature and the major routes of intake are through food and water. Through changes in the treatment of foodstuffs and altered diets, as well as increased use of surface water with low magnesium content, magnesium deficiency is present in modern society. Magnesium deficiency causes cardiac arrhythmia and several studies suggest that a low level of magnesium in drinking water is a risk factor for myocardial infarction, particularly among men. Before general prevention programmes can be recommended, risk groups must be defined and experimental intervention programmes performed.
镁在自然界中含量丰富，主要摄入途径是通过食物和水。由于食品加工方式的改变、饮食结构的变化以及低镁含量地表水使用量的增加，现代社会中存在镁缺乏的情况。镁缺乏会导致心律失常，多项研究表明，饮用水中镁含量低是心肌梗死的一个危险因素，尤其是在男性中。在推荐全面的预防计划之前，必须确定风险人群并开展实验性干预计划。
