Objective: Observational studies suggest that some trace elements and magnesium (Mg) improve glucose metabolism, markers of inflammation, and oxidative stress, but supplementation studies have yielded inconsistent results. Our objective was to evaluate whether a lifestyle intervention trial, aimed at reducing total and saturated fat and increasing fiber intake, can affect also the intake of selenium (Se), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), and Mg.
Methods: Dietary intake of Se, Cr, Zn, Cu, and Mg was evaluated at baseline and at the end of a lifestyle intervention trial performed in 335 dysmetabolic adults.
