Fish intake frequency | Number of subjects | Non-adjusted meanc | Adjusted meand | p-value of multiple comparisons | |
0 | Less than 1 time per week | 17 | 72.764 ± 5.883 | 70.875 | |
1 | 1 time per week | 24 | 73.387 ± 7.238 | 74.722 | 0.0680–1 |
2 | 2 times per week | 21 | 73.516 ± 8.845 | 72.810 | 0.3290–2, 0.3121–2 |

n = 76; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001. c non-adjusted for any demographic variables d adjusted for age, sex, BMI, length of education, annual income, tenure, occupation, and GM-BHQ by ANCOVA method. 0–1 p-value derived from comparison between “less than 1 time” and “1 time” by ANCOVA method. 0–2 p-value derived from comparison between “less than 1 time” and “2 times” by ANCOVA method. 0–3 p-value derived from comparison between “less than 1 time” and “more than 2 times” by ANCOVA method. 1–2 p-value derived from comparison between “1 time” and “2 times” by ANCOVA method. 1–3 p-value derived from comparison between “1 time” and “more than 2 times” by ANCOVA method. 2–3 p-value derived from comparison between “2 times” and “more than 2 times” by ANCOVA method.
