Association between hypomagnesemia1 and prevalence of type-2 diabetes.
| Mg | Non T2D (%) | T2D (%) | Model 1 OR (95% CI) P 2 |
Model 2 OR (95% CI) P 3 |
Model 3 OR (95% CI) P 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normomagnesemia | 96.09 | 3.91 | 1.00 (reference) | 1.00 (reference) | 1.00 (reference) |
| Hypomagnesemia | 88.76 | 11.24 | 3.11 (1.35–7.19) 0.008 | 3.01 (1.22–7.42) 0.017 | 3.36 (1.26–8.96) 0.016 |
1: Hypomagnesemia was considered when plasma magnesium < 0.70 mmol/L. OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval. T2D: type-2 diabetes. Multivariate logistic regression analysis: 2: Model 1 (OR, CI and p-value for unadjusted model); 3: Model 2 (OR, CI and p-value for Model 1 adjusted for sex, age and obesity); 4: Model 3 (OR, CI and p-value for Model 2 adjusted for sex, age, obesity and medications).
