Mean (95% CI) systolic blood pressure (mm Hg) (A) and diastolic blood pressure (mm Hg) (B) by quartiles of dietary glycine intake (percentage of total protein) on the basis of country-specific quartiles [country-specific quartile cutoffs for dietary glycine intake (percentage of total protein) were as follows: for Japan, 4.07 (25th percentile), 4.24 (50th percentile), and 4.88 (75th percentile); for People's Republic of China, 3.89, 4.13, and 4.68, respectively; for the United Kingdom, 3.82, 4.02, and 4.28, respectively; and for the United States, 3.89, 4.20, and 4.51, respectively], pooled across countries, and adjusted for model 4 covariates and dietary alanine [adjusted for country, age, sex, special diet, supplement intake, cardiovascular disease or diabetes diagnosis, physical activity, family history of high blood pressure, 24-h urinary sodium and potassium, 14-d alcohol, cholesterol, total SFA, total PUFA, magnesium, and alanine (see
