The impact of undernutrition on the association between hypomagnesemia and dynapenia in older women
The prevalence of hypomagnesemia increases with worsening nutritional status. Hypomagnesemia is associated with dynapenia in older women who are undernourished, even after adjusting for nutritional status, but not in those who are well nourished. The coexistence of undernutrition and hypomagnesemia increase the risk of dynapenia substantially.
