Research summary

The paper claims that serum magnesium and magnesium intake are associated with brain morphology and cognitive function in Puerto Rican adults. This research is relevant as it explores the potential role of magnesium in brain aging, which could contribute to understanding the biological mechanisms underlying cognitive decline and longevity.
