  1. OR and p-value by Logistic regression (binary) with metabolic syndrome as dependent and frequency of fish consumption as independent (less than once a week = 0/once a week or more = 1). Model 1: Unadjusted. Model 2: Age adjusted, Model 3: Further adjusted for physical activity, cod liver oil, and parity and lactation in women. Metabolic syndrome criteria by the JIS definition: Waist circumference ≥94 cm in men and ≥80 cm in women, Triglycerides ≥150 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/L), HDL cholesterol <40 mg/dL (1.0 mmol/L) in men and <50 mg/dL (1.3 mmol/L) in women, Glucose ≥100 mg/dL (5.5 mmol/L), Systolic blood pressure ≥130 mmHg and Diastolic blood pressure ≥85 mmHg. Serum glucose measured in Tromsø 6 was non-fasting. Fish consumption (less than once a week/once a week or more). Numbers of participants vary because of missing information variables.
