Comparison of mean (whiskers as 95% CI) dietary intake of β-sitosterol, campesterol, total phytosterols, and other phytosterols by dietary pattern among ▼ Blacks and ■Whites. The y-axis represents dietary intake, and the x-axis, the dietary patterns NONVEG=non-vegetarian (168 Blacks, 165 Whites), SEMIVEG=semi vegetarian (9 Blacks, 25 Whites), PESCO=pesco vegetarian (48 Blacks, 35 Whites), LOV=lacto-ovo vegetarian (43 Blacks, 166 Whites), and VEGAN (29 Blacks, 43 Whites). Pairwise differences were determined using two-way analysis of variance adjusted for age, gender, BMI, and physical activity with post hoc Dunnett’s test to correct for multiplicity. Differences were not significant by ethnicity. Within each ethnic group, difference was statistically significant compared to non-vegetarians (reference) at ap≤0.0001 or bp≤0.05.
