Phosphorous intake in foods and phosphorus status markers in circulation in the Boston Puerto Rican Health Study.

Phosphorus (P) additives may be deleterious for health. We measured the P content of key foods, and associations of P intake with biomarkers in the Boston Puerto Rican Health Study (BPRHS). Direct chemical analysis of 92 foods was done with the molybdenum blue spectrophotometric method and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).

Associations among diabetes medication use, serum magnesium, and insulin resistance in a cohort of older Puerto Rican adults.

Background: Hypomagnesemia is commonly observed in individuals with diabetes, but how diabetes medications alter magnesium (Mg) status remains unclear.

Objectives: We aimed to examine the association between diabetes medication and hypomagnesemia and evaluate whether serum Mg mediates the association between diabetes medication and Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) in a prospective cohort.

Methods: Adults from the Boston Puerto Rican Health Study were included (n = 1106).

Corrigendum: APOE4 allele-specific associations between diet, multimodal biomarkers, and cognition among Puerto Rican adults in Massachusetts.
