Effects of Excessive Dietary Phosphorus Intake on Bone Health
Vorland CJ, Stremke ER, Moorthi RN, Hill Gallant KM
Published in Current Osteoporosis Reports
Methodology
Review of human evidence on high phosphorus intake and bone turnover, bone mineral density and fracture risk
Key Findings
High phosphorus intake raises parathyroid hormone and bone turnover markers, but effects on bone density and fracture risk remain unproven
Conclusions
Excess phosphorus may adversely affect bone signalling, with clinical bone outcomes still uncertain
Limitations
Few long-term controlled feeding studies; inconsistent intake assessment
Supplements Studied
High phosphorus intake raises parathyroid hormone and bone turnover markers, but effects on bone density and fracture risk remain unproven
Outcomes Measured
High phosphorus intake raises parathyroid hormone and bone turnover markers, but effects on bone density and fracture risk remain unproven
