Dietary phosphorus intake and blood pressure in adults: a systematic review of randomized trials and prospective observational studies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Elevated blood pressure (BP) is a major cause of preventable disease in the United States and around the world. It has been postulated that phosphorus intake may affect BP, with some studies suggesting a direct and others an inverse association.

Objectives

We systematically reviewed the literature on the association of dietary phosphorus with BP in adults and performed a qualitative synthesis.

Methods

We included randomized and nonrandomized behavioral intervention and feeding studies (intervention studies) and prospective observational studies that measured dietary phosphorus intake or urinary phosphorus excretion and BP. We excluded studies of supplements, children, or individuals with major medical conditions. We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Trials,
