Balance of magnesium positively correlates with that of calcium

BACKGROUND: and Objective: In a prior study [1], we showed no significant relationship between intake and balance of magnesium (Mg). Subsequent further investigation [2] disclosed that intakes of both Ca and P were positively correlated with their respective balances, whereas intake of Mg did not sh...

Description
Summary:BACKGROUND: and Objective: In a prior study [1], we showed no significant relationship between intake and balance of magnesium (Mg). Subsequent further investigation [2] disclosed that intakes of both Ca and P were positively correlated with their respective balances, whereas intake of Mg did not show any significant correlation with Mg balance. In this paper, we show positive correlations between intake of Mg and balances of both Ca and P. METHODS: and Results: Using these correlations, the mean value and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval (from the regression equation between Mg intake and either the balances of Ca or that of P, when each balance is equal to zero) were 4.584 and 4.802 (against Ca balance), 4.554 and 4.785 (against P balance) mg/kg BW/d, respectively. Balances of Mg and Ca correlated with each other.
