Determination of the RDA: Ages 19 through 30 and 31 through 50 YearsThe variance in requirements cannot be determined from the available data. Thus, a CV of 10 percent (1 SD) is assumed, resulting in an RDA of 700 mg (22.6 mmol)/day.
Ages 51 through 70 and > 70 YearsThe data on which the foregoing phosphorus analyses were based were derived from adults of mixed ages, including 51 through 70 and > 70 years. Data specific to these ages are not available. Intestinal absorption efficiency for phosphorus is not known to change appreciably with age, and as noted above, changes in the renal clearance of phosphorus are not sufficient to alter the curve of Figure 5-1 until GFR is reduced by approximately 80 percent. Hence, it is reasonable to adopt the same phosphorus EAR for older adults as for younger adults. EAR Summary: Ages 51 through 70 and > 70 YearsThe EAR for both men and women ages 51 years and older is set at 580 mg (18.7 mmol)/day.
Utilizing the 1994 CSFII intake data, adjusted for day-to-day variations (Nusser et al., 1996), the median phosphorus intake for men, aged 51 through 70 years, is 1,274 mg (41.1 mmol)/day (see Appendix D). All of the men, aged 51 through 70 years, had phosphorus intakes in amounts above the EAR. The median intake for men,
