“…From this point of view, insufficient iron may be affected not only the BMI but also cognitive performance in adolescent girls. Furthermore, our results agree with others [11][12][13][14][15][16] that people with higher BMIs have lower magnesium and zinc concentrations in their hair.…”

An investigation of the metal concentrations of calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, and zinc in three groups of young female hair (n = 180), from women aged between 15 to 19 years, with different body mass indexes (BMI) of BMI < 18, BMI between 18 and 23, and BMI > 24 was performed using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The hair samples were washed with organic solvent (normal hexane : ethyl alcohol : acetone, v/v, 4 : 2 : 1) to remove the external contents and then digested with a microwave digester. The hair samples were analyzed using a flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The BMI < 18 group (n = 45) had the highest concentrations of calcium, copper, iron, magnesium and zinc while the BMI between 18 and 23 group (n = 75) had the second highest concentrations. The BMI > 24 group (n = 60) had the lowest concentrations. Further -more, when we compared the concentrations of calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, and zinc between the groups with BMI < 18 and BMI > 24, there are significant differences (p < 0.05) in the calcium, copper, magnesium, and zinc concentrations between these two groups. The difference was especially significant (p < 0.01) in iron concentration.

“…Serum magnesium and dietary magnesium were inversely associated with IR, providing the first evidence that the association between magnesium deficiency and IR is present during childhood. These associations were not evaluated in previous studies that measured serum or intracellular magnesium in obese children (16,17) but agree with studies in adults that found that low serum magnesium concentrations are associated with hyperinsulinemia, decreased insulin-mediated glucose disposal, and the metabolic syndrome (4,5,18). In the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study, Caucasian men with serum magnesium Ͻ0.58 mmol/l had a twofold increase in incidence of type 2 diabetes compared with those with a magnesium concentration Ͼ0.78 mmol/l (8).…”

OBJECTIVE -Magnesium deficiency has been associated with insulin resistance (IR) and increased risk for type 2 diabetes in adults. This study was designed to determine whether obese children exhibit serum or dietary magnesium deficiency and its potential association with IR.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS -We studied 24 obese nondiabetic children (BMI Ն85th percentile) and 24 sex-and puberty-matched lean control subjects (BMI Ͻ85th percentile). We measured serum magnesium, indexes of insulin sensitivity, dietary magnesium intake (using a food frequency questionnaire), and body composition (by air displacement plethysmography).RESULTS -Serum magnesium was significantly lower in obese children (0.748 Ϯ 0.015 mmol/l, means Ϯ SE) compared with lean children (0.801 Ϯ 0.012 mmol/l) (P ϭ 0.009). Serum magnesium was inversely correlated with fasting insulin (r s ϭ Ϫ0.36 [95% CI Ϫ0.59 to Ϫ0.08]; P ϭ 0.011) and positively correlated with quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) (0.35 [0.06 -0.58]; P ϭ 0.015). Dietary magnesium intake was significantly lower in obese children (obese: 0.12 Ϯ 0.004 vs. lean: 0.14 Ϯ 0.004 mg/kcal; P ϭ 0.003). Dietary magnesium intake was inversely associated with fasting insulin (Ϫ0.43 [Ϫ0.64 to Ϫ0.16]; P ϭ 0.002) and directly correlated with ; P ϭ 0.002).CONCLUSIONS -The association between magnesium deficiency and IR is present during childhood. Serum magnesium deficiency in obese children may be secondary to decreased dietary magnesium intake. Magnesium supplementation or increased intake of magnesium-rich foods may be an important tool in the prevention of type 2 diabetes in obese children. Diabetes Care 28:1175-1181, 2005T he current epidemic of childhood obesity has been associated with an alarming rise in the prevalence of pediatric type 2 diabetes (1). Hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance (IR) are the precursors of type 2 diabetes. Obesity and dietary macronutrients clearly play a role in the risk for type 2 diabetes, but the role of micronutrients in this process is not clear.Magnesium is an important cofactor for enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism. A strong relationship between magnesium and insulin action has been reported (2,3). In adults, low serum and intracellular magnesium concentrations are associated with IR, impaired glucose tolerance, and decreased insulin secretion (4 -6). Furthermore, large epidemiologic studies in adults indicate that lower dietary magnesium and lower serum magnesium are associated with increased risk for type 2 diabetes (7,8). However, the role of magnesium deficiency in the development of IR during childhood has not been clearly defined. The present study was designed to determine whether a relationship exists between magnesium homeostasis and IR in obese children and to evaluate potential mechanisms leading to magnesium deficiency in these children.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS -We studied 24 obese children (BMI Ն85th percentile for age and sex) aged 8 -17 years with at least one risk factor for type 2 diabetes and 24 lean children...

“…In general malnutrition and long term diarrhoea, it has been notified that there are low serum copper levels. In spite of malnutrition, it has been demonstrated that high serum copper levels in obese children could be due to their good appetite [37]. But no studies have been come across to have examined the relationship between drinking water copper levels and fat tissue formation in women aged 55-70.…”

Objective: A growing interest in cellular targets of nutritional minerals and biochemical mechanisms has attracted the attentions of researchers towards their role in formation of obesity. However, there is no study investigating the effects of nutritional drinking water element levels on body composition of the elderly. Therefore, we aimed to examine the effects of nutritional element levels in drinking water on body compositions of women aged 55-70. Methods: This research covers a population of 80 individuals as subjects in total, and was divided into three groups as overweight, obese and control women aged between 55-70. The bioelectric impedance device was used for the measurements of body composition of the participants. Measured values of cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn) levels of drinking water were measured via plasma mass spectrometry coupled inductively. Results: It was found that Se mineral content in drinking water was correlated with the individuals' body mass index of participants living in Batman, Turkey. Moreover, it was found that Fe, Cu, Co, Zn, Mn and Se levels of drinking water were significantly correlated with the abdominal adiposity of women of 55-70. Conclusion: It may be suggested that the obesity risk may be higher in women who are between 55-70 and consume drinking water with high levels of Fe, Cu, Co, Zn, Mn and especially Se.Keywords: Drinking water, nutritional elements, obesity in elderly, body mass index, abdominal adiposity DOI: 10.5798/dicletip.298617 Yazışma Adresi/ Correspondence: Ihsan Cetin, Batman University, School of Health, Nutrition and Dietetics Department, Batman, Turkey, e-mail: cetinihsan@gmail.com Çetin İ., NalbantçilarM.T., İnci R., Güler M.S., Tosun K., Nazik A. 100 İçme suyu besinsel element düzeylerinin Batman ilinde yaşayan 55-70 arası kadınlara ait vücut kompozisyonlarıyla korelasyonu ÖzetAmaç: Besinsel minerallerin hücresel hedefleri ve biyokimyasal mekanizmaları hakkında artan ilgi, araştırmacıları besinsel elementlerin obezitenin oluşumundaki rollerine yönelik araştırmalara yönlendirmiştir. Ancak, yaşlı bireylerde vücut kompozisyonu üzerine içme suyu besinsel elementler düzeylerinin etkilerini araştıran bir çalışma yoktur. Bu nedenle, çalışmamızda 55-70 yaş arası kadınların vücut kompozisyonu üzerine içme suyu besinsel element düzeylerinin etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 55-70 yaş arası, fazla kilolu, obez ve kontrol olarak üç gruba ayrılan toplam 80 katılımcı dâhil edilmiştir. Kadınlara ait vücut kompozisyonu ölçümleri için biyoelektrik impedans cihazı kullanılmıştır. İçme sularında ölçülmüş kobalt (Co), bakır (Cu), Demir (Fe), manganez (Mn) ve selenyum (Se) ve çinko (Zn) değerleri kullanıldı. Bulgular: İçme suyu Se mineral içeriğinin Batman'da yaşayan 55-70 yaş aralığındaki kadınlara ait vücut kütle indeks değerleri ile korelasyon gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, içme suyu Fe, Cu, Co, Zn, Mn ve Se seviyelerinin 55-70 yaş aralığındaki kadınlara ait abdominal obezite...
