¹In the multiple linear regression analyses, RRR dietary pattern score was used as a continuous variable in the models. BSA, body surface area; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; M1, M2, and M3, models 1, 2, and 3.

²Stroke index = stroke volume/BSA.

³Adjusted for age, sex, and race.

⁴Adjusted for M1 plus education, physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption, and study sites.

⁵Fully adjusted for M2 plus all components of the metabolic syndrome (waist circumference, SBP, HDL, triglycerides, and glucose).
