The relationship between dietary phosphorus and peripheral neuropathy in the general population of the United States: A preliminary research.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dietary phosphorus intake may serve as a potential predictor for peripheral neuropathy (PN). While past research has predominantly focused on the relationship between dietary phosphorus and bone health, relatively little is known about its role in the nervous system, particularly its association with PN.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted using data from NHANES 1999-2004. Participants were categorized into different dietary phosphorus intake groups, and the relationship between dietary phosphorus and PN was explored using multifactorial logistic regression, restricted cubic splines (RCS) analysis, and threshold effect analysis based on dietary intake.

Results

The final study included 7726 participants, with 1378 diagnosed with PN and 6348 without
