Table 3

Odds ratios and 95% CIs for lowest LTL and highest TNFα across Mg intake.

	Q1	Q2	Q3	Q4	for trend	1SD increment
	Ref.	OR (95% CI)	OR (95% CI)	OR (95% CI)		OR (95% CI)
LTL	1	1.17 (0.57–2.38)	1.76 (0.90–3.43)	2.60 (1.31–5.16)	0.003	1.49 (1.16–1.92)
TNFα	1	0.83 (0.43–1.58)	1.29 (0.71–2.37)	1.98 (1.09–3.59)	0.008	1.25 (1.02–1.52)

Statistical significance was inferred when the value was less than 0.05; models were adjusted according to age, sex, central obesity, hypertension, HbA1c, LnTG, and HDL-C.
