Plasma Magnesium and Glycolipid Metabolism Indicators in a Southern Chinese Population

A cross-sectional study of 1,429 adults from Shenzhen, China, investigating associations between plasma magnesium levels and glycolipid metabolism indicators. The dataset includes measurements of fasting blood glucose, insulin sensitivity estimators, and lipid ratios. The study was authored by Meilin Li and published on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Modeling the association between magnesium levels and novel insulin resistance indicators like METS-IR and SPISE.
• Investigating non-linear relationships between magnesium and lipid ratios such as LDL-c/HDL-c.
• Training predictive models for diabetes or hyperlipidemia risk based on plasma magnesium and other metabolic markers.

Strengths

• Includes data from 1,429 adult participants, providing a substantive sample size.
• Measures multiple novel glycolipid indicators like TyG-BMI, SPISE, METS-IR, and NHHR.
• Uses a standardized measurement method (ICP-MS) for plasma magnesium levels.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Data is from a single cross-sectional study in Shenzhen, which may limit generalizability.
• The primary file format is DOCX, which may require extraction for structured analysis.
