Associations between 10% increments in consumption of baseline dietary intake measures and metabolic syndrome at Year 3

Uncalibrated Calibrated
 Dietary intake, modeled as 10% increments in: Metabolic syndrome, n = 429
OR1 95% CI P value OR1 95% CI P value
Energy, kcal/d 0.99 0.96–1.01 0.466 1.37 1.15–1.63 <0.001
Total protein, g/d 0.99 0.96–1.01 0.659 1.21 1.00–1.47 0.053
Protein density, % energy from protein2 1.02 0.94–1.10 0.698 1.02 0.77–1.35 0.880
Animal protein, g/d3 1.00 0.97–1.03 0.962 1.08 1.02–1.14 0.006
Vegetable protein, g/d3 0.98 0.94–1.01 0.201 0.99 0.95–1.03 0.531

Logistic regression was used to calculate ORs and 95% CIs. Abbreviations: CT, clinical trial; DM, Dietary Modification Trial; HS, high school; HT, Hormone Therapy Trial; OS, observational study.

1

Adjusted for age (y), OS/CT, HT/DM, race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic White, Non-Hispanic Black/African American, Hispanic/Latina, Asian/Pacific Islander, American Indian/Alaskan Native, Unknown), education (≤HS, some post-HS, college degree, or higher), income (<$20K, $20 to <$35K, $35 to <$50K, $50 to <$75K, ≥$75K), smoking (never, past, current), total recreational physical activity, history of treated diabetes (no/yes), history of hypertension (no/yes), and parity (never pregnant/no term pregnancies, 1, 2, 3, 4, ≥5).

2

Additional adjustment for total energy.

3

Estimated by multiplying the biomarker-based calibrated total protein intake by the self-reported protein subtype proportion.
