Public health impact of dietary phosphorus excess on bone and cardiovascular health in the general population
Calvo MS, Uribarri J
Published in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
Methodology
Review of evidence on high dietary phosphorus intake, particularly from additives, and its effects on bone and cardiovascular outcomes
Key Findings
Habitual phosphorus intakes well above requirements are associated with elevated fibroblast growth factor 23, vascular calcification and adverse bone signalling
Conclusions
Excess phosphorus intake, not deficiency, is the relevant public health concern
Limitations
Largely observational and mechanistic evidence
Supplements Studied
Habitual phosphorus intakes well above requirements are associated with elevated fibroblast growth factor 23, vascular calcification and adverse bone signalling
Outcomes Measured
Habitual phosphorus intakes well above requirements are associated with elevated fibroblast growth factor 23, vascular calcification and adverse bone signalling
