Segmented logistic regression of the association between dietary DDE/PCB exposure and T2D in Manitoba and Ontario First Nations *.
| DDE Intake | PCB Intake | ||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Slope 1 (<BP) | BP | Slope 2 (>BP) | Slope 1 (<BP) | BP | Slope 2 (>BP) | ||||||
| OR | 95% CI | ng/kg/day | SE | OR | 95% CI | OR | 95% CI | ng/kg/day | SE | OR | 95% CI |

DDE: dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene; PCBs: polychlorinated biphenyls; T2D: type 2 diabetes; BP: breakpoint; OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; SE: standard error; OR measures the odds ratio of having T2D per 1 ng/kg/day change in DDE/PCB intake from fish; * Model was adjusted for age, gender, body mass index, smoking, physical activity, total energy, education, and total fish intake.
