We hypothesized that higher dietary phosphorus intake is associated with higher mortality risk among a diverse cohort of hemodialysis patients. (2) Methods: Among 415 patients from the multi-center prospective Malnutrition, Diet, and Racial Disparities in Kidney Disease Study, we examined the associations of absolute dietary phosphorus intake (mg/day), ascertained by food frequency questionnaires, with all-cause mortality using multivariable Cox models...
