Fig. 1. Flow chart for inclusion of Inuit and non-Inuit in Greenland and Inuit in Denmark. The study population comprised 577 Inuit living in Greenland or Denmark and 94 non-Inuit in Greenland aged 40–69 years, 1998 and 2006. *Of Inuit in Denmark 37 were aged 40 through 49 years.
Fig. 2. (a) Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), (b) gamma glutamyltransferase (GGT), (c) alkaline phosphatase (ALP), (d) albumin, and (e) bilirubin in 252 Inuit (left) and 75 non-Inuit (right) men in Greenland by alcohol intake groups. Mean values are shown with 95% confidence intervals. P-values are for trends with increasing alcohol consumption. ns (non-significant) and U/L designate P>0.1 and Units/Litre.
Fig. 3. (a) Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and (b) gamma glutamyltransferase (GGT) in 252 Inuit (left) and 75 non-Inuit (right) men in Greenland. Levels are given with BMI (upper panel), HBV exposure (middle panel) and frequency of intake of Inuit diet (lower panel). HBV exposure was classified as never exposed if all markers were negative, previously exposed if anti-HBs or anti-HBc were positive, and presently infected if HBsAg was positive. Mean values are shown with 95% confidence intervals. P-values are for trends with increasing BMI, HBV exposure or Greenlandic diet. Ns (non-significant) and U/L designate P>0.1 and Units/Litre.
