Article Synopsis
- Hypomagnesemia (low magnesium) and hypocalcemia (low calcium) are linked to cognitive decline in older adults, but previous research mainly focused on diet instead of actual nutrient levels.
- The study analyzed data from 1,220 hospitalized patients aged 60+, categorizing them based on their magnesium and calcium levels to see how these deficiencies affect cognitive performance, measured by tests like the MMSE and CDT.
- Results showed that both deficiencies, along with factors like age, sex, and chronic conditions, significantly lowered cognitive performance, highlighting the importance of monitoring these nutrient levels in seniors.
