A prospective cohort study conducted among 36 094 participants aged 21 to 70 years in Netherlands concluded: high dietary magnesium intake was associated with reduced stroke risk but not potassium and calcium intakes. Studies have shown that circulating and dietary magnesium are inversely associated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases.荷兰的一项包括36094名21岁至70岁的参与者的前瞻性群组研究得出结论：高镁膳食与中风风险降低有关，而高钾或钙膳食则不然。已有研究表明，血循环中和膳食中的镁与心血管疾病的风险成反比。
