(4) Protein intake for those with normal blood pressure is mostly excessive (32.5%). Protein intake for those with pre-hypertensive blood pressure is mostly a severe deficit (36.4%) (5) Fat intake for those with normal blood pressure is mostly excessive (44.2%), fat intake for those with pre-hypertensive blood pressure is mostly severe and mild deficits (36.4%).
