Table S1. List of food categories for the calculation of protein intake from different food

sources.

Table S2. Comparison of nutrients intakes, physical measures, and lifestyle at baseline

between specific groups.

Note: Since results for the association of protein intakes from different food subgroups per

1% of energy with changes in MetSyn components and weight in the population with a large

sample were similar as those in 5,324 participants included in the main analysis, we just

reported the results of those in 5,324 participants (Fig. S1-S5).

Besides 121 food frequency questionnaire items, 8 items regarding milk from beverages and

cereal were also included in the analysis. Pizza was included in the animal category because

its major protein source came from meat. For other foods including cakes or sweet pastries,

puddings, and dim sims or spring rolls that might contain both animal and plant protein, half

of the protein was calculated as animal protein and the other half as plant protein. Other food

sources such as juices, vegemite and butter contributed very small amount of protein, so that

they were not analysed as a group but did contribute to the total plant or animal comparison.

*Plus-minus values are age- and gender-adjusted means ± SDs, which were calculated using

generalised linear model. Tukey’s multiple comparisons tests were used to compare the

differences between groups. Means in a row or one categorical variable with different

superscripts differ, P<0.01.

†Socio-economic status was attributed using the Index of Relative Socio-economic

Disadvantage with the lowest quintile representing the greatest socio-economic disadvantage

[1].

‡Physical activity was assessed using questions based on those developed by the National

Heart Foundation and Australian Institute of Health with higher score representing higher

physical activity [2].

§Glycemic index was calculated for all the participants using data from Foster-Powell et al.
