Changes in DHA concentrations of breast milk with respect to dietary patterns in the supplement group.

DHA	Pattern 1 (n = 21)	Pattern 2 (n = 16)	Pattern 3 (n = 23)	Pattern 4 (n = 17)	p Value
Absolute concentration, mg/100 mL	−0.23 ± 8.22	1.52 ± 12.25	−5.61 ± 10.91	2.29 ± 11.46	0.013
Relative concentration, %	0.05 ± 0.20	0 ± 0.39	−0.08 ± 0.24	0.07 ± 0.20	0.267 Δ

^Δ p values were assessed using the analysis of variance for normally distributed continuous variables. p values were assessed using the Kruskal–Wallis test for non-normally distributed continuous variables.
