Diet quality scores by randomization group among normotensive participants consuming a high-fat diet at baseline. Mean (SD) change (year 1 minus baseline) and effect size of diet quality scores by randomization group in normotensive participants who consumed ≥36.6% energy from fat without a history of CVD (n = 10,371); diet quality scores are summarized in Supplemental Table S1. Changes in diet quality scores are ranked by effect size (best to worst) to facilitate comparisons between scores. Likewise, components are ranked to facilitate within-score comparisons. Vertical reference lines indicate effects that are large (0.8 SD), median (0.5 SD), and small (0.2 SD) (17). Diet quality scores and components can have different ranges, so mean (SD) should not be compared across or within scores.
