    The objective of this research was to evaluate magnesium levels in apparently healthy adults aged 25 to 64 years in the Pachacámac Urbanization of the Villa el Salvador District. A descriptive, observational, cross-sectional, and prospective study was conducted in November 2015 on 100 apparently healthy adults. The concentration of magnesium in blood serum was determined using the UV/VIS spectrometry method. Results show that 71% of the individuals were within the reference values (1.7 to 2.5 mg/dL). A higher concentration of magnesium was registered in the female gender at 62.5%. 42.9% of individuals aged 50 to 64 presented with hypomagnesemia, and 57.1% of the overweight population presented with hypomagnesemia. Regarding the Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR), 61.9% of individuals with android syndrome (apple shape) were found to have hypomagnesemia. A directly proportional relationship exists between food intake and magnesium concentration. If the population adopts a healthier lifestyle and diet, the consumption of magnesium supplements would not be necessary.
