The Fate of Phosphate: Assessing Dietary Intake and Urinary Excretion in Swedish Adolescents.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A high total phosphorus (P) intake has been proposed to promote endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis. A diet rich in foods containing P additives could contribute to an excessive intake, potentially reflected as increased concentration of P in urine.

Objectives

This study aimed to assess the intake of total dietary P, P additives, and its sources and examine their correlation with urinary P in a cross-sectional national study in Swedish adolescents.

Methods

We constructed a database of P additives and applied it to the foods consumed by 3099 participants in the representative school-based dietary survey Riksmaten Adolescents 2016-17. Intake of total dietary P and P additives were assessed using two 24-h recalls. Urinary P was analyzed in a subsample
