Depression is an important public health problem. Several epidemiological studies have evaluated the associations between dietary magnesium mg and calcium ca intake and the risk of depression. When comparing the highest with the lowest intake the pooled relative risks of depression were 0 81 95 confidence interval 0 70 0 92 for mg. However the results of these studies remain controversial.
Among these studies 11 studies evaluated the association between dietary mg intake and risk of depression and 6 studies evaluated the association between dietary ca intake and risk of depression. Dietary magnesium intake was found to have an association with the risk of depression.
