Cox proportional hazards regression was used to estimate HRs of mortality by absolute phosphorus intake. Absolute phosphorus intake was log-transformed to achieve a more normal distribution and modeled continuously by using linear splines with a knot at ln (1400 mg/d) on the basis of evidence of a nonlinear relation. Model 1 was adjusted for age, sex, race, ethnicity, poverty:income ratio, and total energy intake. Model 2 was adjusted as for model 1 covariates and for BMI, systolic blood pressure, current and former smoking, physical activity, non-HDL cholesterol, log albumin:creatinine ratio, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and low vitamin D concentration. CVD, cardiovascular disease.
