Figure 1 plots adjusted GM ratio (95 percent CIs; y-axis) ranging from 0.50 to 9.50 in unit increments across maternal weekly frequency of fish and seafood intake (x-axis) and measured levels of contaminants in maternal blood. The key is as follows: low (reference), less than 2 times per week; medium, 2 to 4 times per week; and high, greater than 4 times per week. — Adjusted linear regression associations between weekly consumption of fish and seafood and measured levels of contaminants in maternal blood collected during pregnancy ( $n = 409 - 722$ ). Models are mutually adjusted for all food groups and for cohort, maternal age, educational level, parity, prepregnancy body mass index, gestational weight gain, active smoking during pregnancy, and year of delivery. Women from KANC and BiB cohorts are not included. Corresponding numeric data are reported in Excel Table S8.
