Hypomagnesium in the elderly.
The range of plasma concentrations in 177 and erythrocyte magnesium concentrations in 104 elderly patients was found to be similar to that for healthy adults. No significant difference was observed between the sexes or between patients taking diuretics and those not receiving diuretic therapy. The latter finding is contrary to some previously reported studies.
