Magnesium and Bone Health – A Key to Preventing Fractures
New research published in the European Journal of Epidemiology highlights the potential of magnesium supplementation in preventing bone fractures, particularly among middle-aged and elderly individuals. Led by Dr. Setor Kunutsor from the University of Bristol’s Musculoskeletal Research Unit, the study emphasizes the importance of magnesium in maintaining bone health.
Bone fractures are a leading cause of disability among older adults, with around 6 million fractures occurring annually in the U.S. alone. While calcium and vitamin D are widely recognized for their role in bone health, magnesium is often overlooked. However, studies reveal that magnesium deficiency is linked to an increased risk of osteoporosis and can disrupt the balance of calcium and vitamin D in bones.
