A U-shaped association between dietary phosphorus intake and new-onset hypertension: a nationwide cohort study in China

摘要

Background The association between dietary phosphorus intake and the risk of hypertension remains uncertain. We aimed to investigate the relation of dietary phosphorus intake with new-onset hypertension among Chinese adults. Methods A total of 12,177 participants who were free of hypertension at baseline from the China Health and Nutrition Sur vey (CHNS) were included. Dietar y intake was measured by 3 consecutive 24-hour dietary recalls combined with a household food inventory. New-onset hypertension was defined as systolic blood pressure >140 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure >90 mm Hg or diagnosed by a physician or under antihypertensive treatment during the follow-up. Results During a median follow-up of 6.1 years, 4,269 participants developed new-onset hypertension. Overall, the association between dietary phosphorus intake and new-onset hypertension followed a U-shape ( P for nonlinearity < .001). Consistently, when dietary phosphorus intake was assessed as quintiles, compared with those in the 3rd to 4th quintiles (912.0-< 1089.5 mg/d), a significantly higher risk of new-onset hypertension was found in participants in the 1st to 2nd quintiles ( < 912.0 mg/d: HR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.14-1.33), and the fifth quintile ( >1089.5 mg/d: HR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.10-1.33). Conclusion There was a U-shaped association between dietary phosphorus intake and new-onset hypertension in general Chinese adults. (Am Heart J 2023;259:21-29.)
