This study was designed to determine whether obese children exhibit serum or dietary magnesium deficiency and its potential association with IR.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS\u2014We studied 24 obese nondiabetic children (BMI \u226585th percentile) and 24 sex- and puberty-matched lean control subjects (BMI &amp;lt;85th percentile). We measured serum magnesium, indexes of insulin sensitivity, dietary magnesium intake (using a food frequency questionnaire), and body composition (by air displacement plethysmography).<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>RESULTS\u2014Serum magnesium was significantly lower in obese children (0.748 \u00b1 0.015 mmol\/l, means \u00b1 SE) compared with lean children (0.801 \u00b1 0.012 mmol\/l) (P = 0.009). Serum magnesium was inversely correlated with fasting insulin (rs = \u22120.36 [95% CI \u22120.59 to \u22120.08]; P = 0.011) and positively correlated with quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) (0.35 [0.06\u20130.58]; P = 0.015). Dietary magnesium intake was significantly lower in obese children (obese: 0.12 \u00b1 0.004 vs. lean: 0.14 \u00b1 0.004 mg\/kcal; P = 0.003). Dietary magnesium intake was inversely associated with fasting insulin (\u22120.43 [\u22120.64 to \u22120.16]; P = 0.002) and directly correlated with QUICKI (0.43 [0.16\u20130.64]; P = 0.002).<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>CONCLUSIONS\u2014The association between magnesium deficiency and IR is present during childhood. Serum magnesium deficiency in obese children may be secondary to decreased dietary magnesium intake. Magnesium supplementation or increased intake of magnesium-rich foods may be an important tool in the prevention of type 2 diabetes in obese children.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2337\/diacare.28.5.1175","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,5]],"date-time":"2007-03-05T22:51:27Z","timestamp":1173135087000},"page":"1175-1181","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2337\/ada-journal-policies","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":167,"title":["Magnesium Deficiency Is Associated With Insulin Resistance in Obese Children"],"prefix":"10.2337","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Milagros G.","family":"Huerta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James N.","family":"Roemmich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, State University of New York at Buffalo, Buffalo, New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marit L.","family":"Kington","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Viktor E.","family":"Bovbjerg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Evaluation Sciences, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arthur L.","family":"Weltman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Viola F.","family":"Holmes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General Clinical Research Center, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James T.","family":"Patrie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Evaluation Sciences, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alan D.","family":"Rogol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jerry L.","family":"Nadler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1167","reference":[{"key":"2022031218392489900_R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Nesmith JD: Type 2 diabetes mellitus in children and adolescents.
