a Illustration of a direct association of the dietary factor of fish consumption on depression. Path c represents the total association of fish consumption on depression (CES-D). b Illustration of an indirect association between fish consumption and depression (CES-D) through resilience (RS-14). Path a represents the association between fish consumption and resilience (RS-14), the proposed mediator. Path b represents the association between resilience (RS-14) and depression (CES-D), without fish consumption. Path c′ is the association between the fish consumption and depression (CES-D), without resilience (RS-14). The indirect association between the fish consumption and depression (CES-D) through resilience (RS-14) score is c – c′, which is tested with the confidence interval obtained through the bootstrapping method
