Eating fish or taking polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) supplements can help prevent type 2 diabetes development among Asians, according to the results of a systematic review and meta-analysis. This is in contrast to Western populations, who showed no protective effect from PUFA consumption. The authors explain how the influences of genetics and gene-diet interactions on type 2 diabetes account for these population differences.

Another systematic review and meta-analysis found that study location (Asia vs. North America/Europe), mean body mass index, and duration of follow-up modified the association between fish/seafood and PUFA consumption and the risk of type 2 diabetes. But these authors say their overall pooled findings do not support either major harms or benefits of fish/seafood or PUFA consumption on the development of diabetes.
