Dietary magnesium may have a protective role against migraine

Key clinical point: Inadequate magnesium consumption through the diet is associated with migraine in US adults, aged 20-50 years.

Major finding: Only 26.1% of participants with migraine met their recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for magnesium through diet and supplements. Attainment of the RDA for magnesium through diet and supplements was associated with lower odds of migraine (adjusted odds ratio, 0.83; P = .035).

Study details: An analysis of cross-sectional data of 3,626 individuals aged 20-50 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2001-2004) who were categorized into migraine (n=905) and control (n=2,721) groups.

 Disclosures: No study sponsor was identified. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
