Dietary Calcium and Phosphorus Intake with Vascular and Valvular Calcification The association of the highest quartile of dietary calcium and phosphorus intake with coronary and extra coronary calcification. The highest quartile of dietary calcium Is inversely associated with coronary, aortic ring, and ascending aortic calcification; the highest quartile of phosphorus intake Is inversely associated with coronary artery calcification. Downward arrow = statistically significant inverse association of highest and lowest intake quartiles; horizontal arrow = no statistically significant difference between highest and lowest quartiles; Ca2+ = calcium; P = phosphorus.
