*Abbreviations: minus – no difference between Sami and control population; I – increased in Sami compared to control population (P<0.05); D – decreased in Sami compared to control population (P<0.05); nr – not reported/not measured; E% – percent energy from that source.
†Only nutrients where differences have been found in two or more studies are included. For other common nutrients, no differences have been found, or differences were found in one study only.
