Magnesium-to-Calcium Ratio and Mortality from COVID-19<\/a>
Obesity, type 2 diabetes, arterial hypertension, decrease in immune response, cytokine storm, endothelial dysfunction, and arrhythmias, which are frequent in COVID-19 patients, are associated with hypomagnesemia. … our results show that a magnesium-to-calcium ratio \u22640.20 is strongly associated with mortality in patients with severe COVID-19<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More on Mg\/Ca ratio:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Maintaining an appropriate balance between magnesium<\/strong> and calcium<\/strong> is crucial for various bodily functions, including bone health, cardiovascular function, and neuromuscular activities. The optimal magnesium-to-calcium (Mg:Ca) ratio<\/strong> has been a subject of research, with studies suggesting that an imbalance may be associated with health issues.

Optimal Magnesium-to-Calcium Ratio<\/strong>
Dietary Intake Ratio:<\/strong> Research indicates that a calcium-to-magnesium (Ca:Mg) intake ratio<\/strong> between 1.7:1 and 2.6:1<\/strong> is associated with favorable health outcomes. This means consuming 1.7 to 2.6 times more calcium than magnesium<\/strong> in your diet. For example, if your daily magnesium intake is 400 mg, your calcium intake should range between 680 mg and 1,040 mg.

Serum Ratio:<\/strong> In terms of blood levels, a serum Ca:Mg ratio<\/strong> between 2.36:1 and 3.66:1<\/strong> is considered within the normal range. This reflects the balance of these minerals circulating in the bloodstream.

Health Implications of Imbalance<\/strong>
High Ca:Mg Ratio:<\/strong> An elevated calcium-to-magnesium ratio has been linked to increased inflammation markers, which may contribute to chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome and higher mortality rates in patients with severe COVID-19.
