†
LVM = left ventricular mass
Associations per 100 mg greater dietary phosphorus within each food category. N = 4,405 for all models.
All models weighed and combined by sex and adjusted for age, race, height, weight and weight0.5, total dietary calories, dietary sodium, smoking, alcohol use, education, moderate-vigorous physical activity, diabetes status, systolic blood pressure, anti-hypertensive medication use, urinary albumin to creatinine ratio, C-reactive protein, and estimated glomerular filtration rate.
