Taurine Intake with Magnesium Reduces Cardiometabolic Risks

WHO-CARDIAC (Cardiovascular Diseases and Alimentary Comparison) Study revealed the quintile analyses of 24-h urinary (24 U) taurine (T) and magnesium (Mg) excretions were inversely related with cardiometabolic risks (CMR) such as obesity, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia in 50 population samples in the world. To exclude the influence of ethnicity in the study, 24 U T and Mg excretions were analyzed for the association with CMR in one ethnicity, Japanese population.
