Objectives: This study explores clinical and laboratory abnormalities that contribute to the prevalence of bone fractures in frail and control elderly patients, to ascertain factors that relate to bone strength and fragility. Methods: Patients were selected as free from renal failure and not taking supplements or medications that affect their magnesium status, and categorized according to their underlying diseases, sex and age, and evaluated by tests of bone strength. Results: Findings, differentiating elderly patients on the basis of their magnesium, calcium, serum albumin, body mass, bone mineral density and their fracture occurrence were tabulated. Conclusion: Evidence is presented of low magnesium and albumin serum levels, especially in women with low bone density, as well as of low calcium and trace minerals.
