Cox proportional hazards regression was used to estimate HRs of mortality by phosphorus density. Phosphorus density was modeled as a continuous variable by using linear splines (knot at 0.35 mg/kcal, which corresponds to 700 mg for a 2000-kcal diet) on the basis of a visual inspection of locally weighted smoothing plots. 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.
Continuous [per 0.1-unit increase in phosphorus density (mg/kcal)].
