T2D: type 2 diabetes; low fish consumers: <5 g/day (reference group); medium fish consumers: 5–10 g/day; high fish consumers: >10 g/day; values are ORs (95% CI); Model 1: crude estimates; Model 2: adjusted for age and gender; Model 3: additionally adjusted for BMI, total energy intake, physical activity, smoking, and education; Ontario First Nations served as a treatment group and Manitoba First Nations served as a comparison (control) group; *** p < 0.01, ** p < 0.05, * p < 0.1.
