Abstract
I read the work by Yuan Chen et al. Biol Trace Elem Res 201(6):2750-2756 2023 entitled "Magnesium depletion score predicts diabetic retinopathy risk among diabetes: findings from NHANES 2005-2018" which was published in the Biological Trace Element Research (volume 201, issue 6, June 2023), with great interest. The authors specified that magnesium depletion score was associated with diabetic retinopathy. However, there are some limitations that should be addressed properly: first, the correct diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy; second, the consideration for statistical method; and third, the conclusion drawn from this study. I believe there are a few points regarding study design and conclusion that, if addressed, would improve the quality of this article.

J Trace Elem Med Biol 2024; 84:127432. [PMID: 38489922 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtemb.2024.127432] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2023] [Revised: 03/09/2024] [Accepted: 03/10/2024] [Indexed: 03/17/2024]
Abstract
OBJECT The association between magnesium depletion score (MDS) and kidney stone disease (KSD) remains unknown. This study was designed to investigate the association of MDS with KSD in adults. METHODS A total of 19,654 participants were enrolled from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES). The MDS was calculated by assessing four aspects, including alcohol assumption, renal function, and use of diuretics and proton pump inhibitor. Multivariable logistic regressions were performed to explore the associations between MDS and the prevalence of KSD. Linear correlations were conducted explore the relationship of testosterone with MDS. RESULTS In the multivariable logistic regressions with full adjustment for confounding variables, the odds ratio of MDS associating with KSD was 1.28 (95% CI: 1.04-1.58, P = 0.022) in total population, and 1.70 (95% CI: 1.16-2.50, P=0.007) in female participants. Besides, compared to the lowest MDS, the highest MDS was associated with a lower testosterone (β = -16.39, P=0.009) after full adjustment in non-menopause women. CONCLUSION This study highlighted a positive correlation of high MDS with KSD in female population, which may be associated low level of serum testosterone.

Front Nutr 2024; 11:1408497. [PMID: 38895658 PMCID: PMC11183295 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2024.1408497] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Aim Magnesium levels may influence the effect of vitamin D levels on the body. This study aimed to assess the combined effect of magnesium status as reflected by magnesium depletion score (MDS) and vitamin D status on the risk of retinopathy. Methods This cross-sectional study included participants aged 40 years and older with complete information on vitamin D, MDS, and retinopathy assessment from the 2005-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Logistic regression analysis was utilized to analyze the relationship of MDS and vitamin D with retinopathy and expressed as odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Results Of these 4,953 participants included, 602 (9.53%) participants had retinopathy. Serum vitamin D levels ≤30 nmol/L (vs. >30 nmol/L) (OR = 1.38, 95%CI: 1.05-1.81) and MDS >2 points (vs. ≤2 points) (OR = 1.47, 95%CI: 1.01-2.16) were associated with higher odds of retinopathy. There was an interaction between MDS and vitamin D on the increased odds of retinopathy (OR = 2.29, 95%CI: 1.12-4.68, P interaction = 0.025). In different MDS groups, serum vitamin D levels ≤30 nmol/L increased the odds of retinopathy only in the MDS >2 group (OR = 2.90, 95%CI: 1.16-7.24), but not in the MDS ≤2 group (p = 0.293). Subgroups analyses demonstrated that the interaction between MDS and serum vitamin D on retinopathy was observed in males (OR = 6.88, 95%CI: 1.41-33.66, P interaction = 0.019), people with diabetes (OR = 3.43, 95%CI: 1.78-6.63, P interaction < 0.001), and people with body mass index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m2 (OR = 2.46, 95%CI: 1.11-5.44, P interaction = 0.028). Conclusion Magnesium plays a moderating role in the relationship between serum vitamin D and retinopathy. The protective effect of vitamin D against retinopathy was primarily present among those with inadequate magnesium levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The association between magnesium depletion score (MDS) and the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has not been examined to date. Meanwhile, the potential impact of dietary magnesium intake on this association remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the influence of dietary magnesium intake on the association between MDS and COPD incidence. METHODS In this cross-sectional study using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database, we analysed the relationship between MDS and COPD, while also exploring the role of dietary magnesium. RESULTS A total of 39 852 participants, including 1762 patients with COPD and 38 090 patients with non-COPD, were included in the analysis. After adjusting for confounding factors, our results demonstrated a significant association between higher MDS and increased COPD incidence (OR=1.48, 95% CI: 1.10 to 1.99). Furthermore, it was observed that dietary magnesium intake did not significantly impact this association. CONCLUSION This study highlights a significant positive correlation between MDS and the incidence of COPD. Nonetheless, no significant alteration in this association was observed with dietary magnesium intake.

Abstract
The magnesium depletion score (MDS) is considered a new valuable and reliable predictor of body magnesium status. This study aimed to explore the association between MDS and congestive heart failure (CHF) among US adults. A total of 19,227 eligible participants from the 2007-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were enrolled in this study and then divided into three groups according to the level of MDS (none to low: MDS=0-1, middle: MDS=2, high: MDS=3-5). Sample-weighted logistic regression models were applied to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) exploring the independent relationship between MDS and CHF. The estimated prevalence of CHF increased with the increasing level of MDS (none to low: 0.86%, middle: 4.06%, high: 13.52%; P < 0.001). Compared to those in the none-to-low group, participants in the middle and high groups were at significantly higher risk of CHF after adjusting for various covariates (model 3: OR=1.55, 95%CI: 1.05-2.30, P < 0.001; OR=3.20, 95%CI: 2.07-4.96, P < 0.001; respectively). Subgroup analyses indicated that adequate dietary magnesium intake could reduce the risk of CHF in participants who did not meet the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for magnesium. Besides, there was an interaction between coronary artery disease and MDS on CHF (P for interaction < 0.001). These findings indicated that MDS, a novel indicator estimating magnesium deficiency, is associated with the risk of CHF in non-institutionalized US civilians. Participants whose dietary magnesium intake reaches the RDA might be at lower risk.

Abstract
The magnesium depletion score (MDS) emerges as a new valuable predictor of the body's magnesium status index. This study aims to explore the link between MDS and hypertension (HTN) using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data. A total of 9708 participants from NHANES (2007-2018) were enrolled to investigate MDS's connection with HTN. HTN was defined based on clinical guidelines. MDS classification (low, 0-1; middle, 2; high, 3-5) relied on alcohol consumption, diuretic use, proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) usage, and kidney disease. Multivariable logistic regression assessed MDS-HTN association. Subsequent analyses included interaction tests, subgroups, and sensitivity analysis. Each unit increase in MDS correlated with an 87% higher HTN risk (OR, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.64-2.13) after adjusting for confounders. High MDS participants exhibited significantly elevated HTN risk compared to low MDS counterparts (OR, 8.31; 95% CI, 4.81-14.36), with a significant trend across MDS groups (p < 0.001). Subgroup analyses supported a consistent positive correlation. Sensitivity analysis confirmed a robust association. The results indicated a positive correlation between MDS and the risk of developing HTN in US adults.
