Abstract
In the last few generations, in developed countries, the reduction of energy intake and the increase in consumption of foods containing only energy without minerals or vitamins, have contributed to decrease the total mineral and vitamin density per unit of energy in diet, and particularly magnesium density. For these reasons, the usual diets in developed countries may no longer meet the magnesium recommended dietary allowances for numerous people. Unfortunately, little information exists on the dietary magnesium intake of large representative samples of populations, particularly in European countries. Using data issued from the SU. VI. MAX study developed in France since 1994, the present study was carried out to assess dietary magnesium intake of a national sample of adults living in France.
