Abstract
Objective: To obtain the dietary magnesium intake status of adult residents in China over the past 30 years.
Methods: Based on the data from five national cross-sectional surveys/monitoring of the China Nutrition and Health Surveys from 1982 to 2015, adult residents aged 18 and above were selected as the research subjects based on their personal basic information and dietary survey data. The study analyzed the trends in dietary magnesium intake and insufficiency prevalence among adult residents from 1982 to 2015, and examined the differences among different genders, age groups, and urban-rural areas.
Results: A total of 276 438 individuals were included in the study. The result showed that in the five surveys/monitoring from 1982 to 2015, the median dietary magnesium intake of adult residents aged 18 and above in China was 382.52, 372.55, 298.17, 249.52 and 230.82 mg/d, respectively, showing a significant downward trend over time. The insufficiency prevalence of dietary magnesium intake among adult residents in China showed a significant upward trend from 1982 to 2015, with the insufficiency prevalence in the five surveys/monitoring being 18.78%, 18.25%, 38.27%, 57.77% and 66.75%, respectively. The insufficiency prevalence of dietary magnesium among adult women was significantly higher than that among men; the older the age, the higher the insufficiency prevalence of dietary magnesium, with the highest prevalence among those aged 75 and above; the insufficiency prevalence of dietary magnesium intake among urban residents was higher than that among rural residents.
Conclusion: Over the 30 years from 1982 to 2015, there has been a significant downward trend in the dietary magnesium intake of adult residents in China, and a significant upward trend in the insufficiency prevalence of dietary magnesium intake. The status of dietary magnesium deficiency among women, the elderly, and urban residents requires more attention.
