Dietary and Questionnaire Data
Participants completed three 24-hour dietary recalls, which were averaged to create a mean energy intake at each time point (baseline and 3, 6, 12, and 24 months). Participants were also asked what medications they were currently taking. Dietary adherence was assessed by examining recommended animal product intake for 5 food groups via the averaged dietary recalls at each assessment time point. Participants received 1 point for each food group (omni: eggs, ≤0.3 servings per day; seafood, ≥0.3 servings per day; poultry, ≤1 serving [3 oz; 84 g] per day; red meat, ≤0.67 serving [2 oz; 56 g] per day; and dairy, ≥2 servings per day; vegan: received 1 point for 0 servings per day within each food group). Adherence scores were dichotomized such that scores of 2.5 or higher were considered mostly adherent.
