| Age (years) | 0.004 | 0.001 | 0.257 | <0.001 |
| Sex (female) | −0.060 | 0.013 | −0.145 | <0.001 |
| SBP (mmHg) | 0.001 | 0.000 | 0.122 | <0.001 |
| HDL-C (mg/dl) | −0.001 | 0.000 | −0.077 | 0.016 |

Predictive variables tested (independent variables that reached significance in the univariate associations): serum Mg categorized by quartiles (quartile 4 as reference group), age, sex, waist circumference, SBP, diuretic use, fasting glucose, HbA1c, HOMA-Beta, HDL-C, ApoA-I, eGFR, and serum creatinine. Constant = 0.420; R2 = 0.253. HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; ApoA-I, apoliprotein A-I; HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c; HOMA-Beta, Homeostasis Model Assessment-beta cell function; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate.
