*

HRs adjusted for age (underlying time scale), center, sex, education level, smoking status, physical activity, BMI, total energy intake, and intake of alcohol, fruits, and vegetables.

AP is calculated for the combination of GAD65 antibody positivity and low plasma n-3 PUFAs/fish intake.

P for the multiplicative interaction term between GAD65 antibody status and categories of plasma n-3 PUFAs/fish intake.
