Usual animal, plant, and total protein intakes were estimated using Multiple Source Method. Diet quality was assessed using the 2013-Dietary Guidelines Index (DGI), and obesity measures included BMI and waist circumference (WC). Sex-stratified multiple linear and logistic regressions were performed and adjusted for potential confounders. Plant and animal protein intakes were positively associated with DGI scores [Plant protein: men, β=0.74(95%CI: 0.64, 0.85); women, β=0.78(0.67, 0.89); Animal protein: men, β=0.15(0.12, 0.18); women, β=0.26(0.22, 0.29)]. These associations were consistent when examining high-quality plant protein (i.e., high-protein-containing plant-based foods with comparable nutritional values to animal proteins) and non-dairy animal protein intakes. Plant protein intake was inversely associated with BMI and WC in men but not women. Animal protein intake was positively associated with BMI in men and women and WC in men only [β=0.04(0.02, 0.07)]. Plant protein intake was inversely associated with obesity [OR=0.97(0.96, 0.99)] and central obesity [OR=0.97(0.95, 0.98)] among men only.

Nutritional fluids were identified as any liquid provided to hospital patients orally, enterally, or parenterally, to deliver nutrition. These were categorised into six groups aligned to food/medical standards, including: 1) local recipes, 2) pre-packaged general fluids, 3) supplementary fluids, 4) prescribed nutrition fluids - thickened, 5) prescribed nutrition fluids - oral/enteral, and 6) prescribed medical nutrition - IV and parenteral.

Firstly, we estimated the association between TyG index, and serum 25(OH)D with HTN using weighted multivariable logistic regression model and restricted cubic spline. Secondly, we used generalized additive model to investigate the correlation between TyG index and serum 25(OH)D. Lastly, serum 25(OH)D was investigated as a mediator in the association between TyG index and HTN. There were 14,099 subjects in total. TyG index was positively and linearly associated with HTN risk, while serum 25(OH)D had a U-shaped relationship with prevalence of HTN. When the serum 25(OH)D levels were lower than 57.464 mmol/L, prevalence of HTN decreased with the increase of serum 25(OH)D levels. When serum 25(OH)D levels rise above 57.464 mmol/L, risk of HTN increased rapidly. Based on the U-shaped curve, serum 25(OH)D concentrations were divided into two groups: (<57.464 and ≥57.464 mmol/L). According to the mediation analysis, when serum 25(OH)D levels <57.464 mmol/L, the positive association between TyG index and incident HTN was increased by 25(OH)D. When serum 25(OH)D levels ≥57.464 mmol/L, the negative association between TyG index and incident HTN was increased by 25(OH)D.
