A indicates vegetable protein (in percentage of kilocalories) with inclusion of caloric intake (in kilocalories per 24 hours) (n = 4680); B, vegetable protein (in grams per day) adjusted for caloric intake (in kilocalories per 24 hours) (n = 4680); C, vegetable protein (in percentage of kilocalories) with nutrients from foods and dietary supplements (n = 4680); D, vegetable protein (in grams per day) adjusted for caloric intake (in kilocalories per 24 hours) with nutrients from foods and dietary supplements (n = 4680); E, vegetable protein (in percentage of kilocalories) with exclusion of those taking antihypertensive or other cardiovascular disease medications (n = 3930); F, vegetable protein (in percentage of kilocalories) with exclusion of participants with a history of heart disease, stroke, or diabetes mellitus (n = 4093); G, vegetable protein (in percentage of kilocalories) with exclusion of participants on a special diet (n = 4052); and H, vegetable protein (in percentage of kilocalories) with exclusion of participants with high daily variability of nutrient intake and blood pressure (n = 3473).
