Background: Elevated serum phosphorus has been linked to mortality among patients with renal failure and in one study in the general population. The aim of our study was to examine the association of serum phosphorus level with carotid atherosclerosis in the general population.Methods: We determined the association of serum phosphorus levels with carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) in 13.340 subjects 45-64 years old without known coronary heart disease, stroke, or renal disease from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study.Results: Phosphorus levels were significantly associated with age, female gender, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and fibrinogen levels (p
