Association between dietary protein intake and metabolic syndrome in AHS-2 calibration study (n = 518).

Dietary Protein Intake	Odds Ratio (95% CI) Crude	p Value	Odds Ratio (95% CI)	p Value
Total protein	0.99 (0.95, 1.02)	0.6	0.94 (0.89, 0.99)	0.02
Animal protein	0.98 (0.94, 1.02)	0.5	0.94 (0.89, 0.99)	0.02
Plant protein	0.96 (0.90, 1.04)	0.4	0.94 (0.85, 1.04)	0.2
AP protein	1.06 (0.84, 1.33)	0.5	0.94 (0.85, 1.04)	0.2

Adjusted for age, ethnicity, sex, physical activity, PS ratio, glycemic load, BMI, energy, type of dietary protein from other sources than the one under study, if applicable, total protein and AP protein ratio.
