Systolic blood pressure (mmHg)^d	0.0	−0.01 (−1.35, 1.35)	−0.35 (−1.92, 1.21)	0.66

^aAdjusted for age (years), sex, and time.
^bFurther adjusted for physical activity (METs/week), postmenopausal hormone use (yes/no), multivitamin use (yes/no), alcohol consumption (non-drinker/drinker), smoking (never, past, and current).
^cMultivariate model additionally adjusted for dietary intakes of saturated fat (g/day), cholesterol (mg/day), glycemic load (quintiles), sodium intake (mg/day), fiber (g/day), and total energy (kcal/day).
^dA full model with additional adjustment for body mass index (kg/m²), history of diabetes, and family history of hypertension.
^eTest for linear trend.
