之前的一些研究研究了妊娠结局与镁营养摄入之间的关系，发现补充镁可能对围产期结局产生有益影响。我们进行了一项研究，旨在检验饮用水中的镁含量与生育极低出生体重（出生体重低于 1500 克；VLBW）婴儿的风险之间的关系。研究对象包括居住在 252 个城市的 1,781 名妇女，这些妇女在 1993 年 1 月 1 日至 1997 年 12 月 31 日期间生育了第一胎单胎，并且可以获得有关母亲年龄、教育程度、孕龄、出生体重和婴儿性别的完整信息。镁含量的数据来自台湾自来水公司 (TWSC)。我们的研究结果表明，随着饮用水中镁含量的增加，生育极低出生体重儿的风险呈明显下降趋势。只有通过补充饮用水中的营养镁来实现症状的特定可逆性才可能证明存在致病联系。
A few previous studies have looked at the relationship between pregnancy outcome and magnesium nutritional intake and found that magnesium supplementation which could have beneficial effects on perinatal outcome. We performed a study to examine the relationship between the levels of magnesium in drinking water and the risk of delivering a child of very low birth weight (birthweight less than 1500 g; VLBW). The study population comprised 1,781 women residing in 252 municipalities who had a first parity singleton birth between January 1, 1993 and December 31, 1997, and for whom complete information on maternal age, education, gestational age, birth weight, and sex of the baby were available. Data on magnesium levels were obtained from the Taiwan Water Supply Corporation (TWSC). The results of our study show that there is a significant trend toward a decreased risk of having a child of VLBW with increasing magnesium levels in drinking water. Only the specific reversibility of the symptoms through nutritional magnesium in drinking water supplementation might demonstrate the existence of a pathogenic link.
