Original Research Article:
Background: Role of magnesium in dyslipidemia is still controversial till date. Decreased serum magnesium levels are co-related with dyslipidemia.
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum magnesium levels with components of lipid profile in apparently healthy adults. Material and methods: This is a population based cross-sectional study. Total 130 apparently healthy adults of age between 25-65 years, were recruited with prior ethical approval and with written informed consent. Results: Serum magnesium was found to be negatively correlated with triglyceride, VLDL and total cholesterol. Co-relation with TG(r = -0.23, p= 0.02) and VLDL (r = -0.28, p= 0.004) was significant. However positive & mild correlation of serum magnesium with HDL and LDL was found. Conclusion: As per the findings we concluded that serum magnesium was found to have significant negative correlation with serum TG and VLDL.
