Abbreviations: NA, not applicable; SBP, systolic blood pressure.

SI conversion factor: To convert phosphorus to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.323.

a

Covariates are age, baseline percentage of median body weight, and hours of regular exercise per week.

b

From repeated-measures analysis; P tests for linear trend are significantly different from 0.
