The mean age of the participants was 85.7\u2009\u00b1\u20096.50\u00a0years (range 65\u2013100). 27 subjects (12.9%) developed delirium during the hospitalization, with no difference between genders. Subjects with delirium had lower serum magnesium levels than those without (1.88\u2009\u00b1\u20090.34 versus 2.04\u2009\u00b1\u20090.28; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.009).
