All models are adjusted for age, sex, BMI, systolic blood pressure, and diabetes. Daily caloric intake was additionally adjusted for models with dietary magnesium. Serum cholesterol and smoking status were additionally adjusted for the association between serum magnesium and LGE, presence and type of plaque. Estimates represent β-estimates from linear regression or OR from logistic regression.
