Once again using simple tests for associations such as the chi squares were not possible with this large dataset, because all results are highly significant and therefore does not provide further insights.

Increased likelihood of sexual debut was associated with age and reporting current alcohol use; being white approached significance.

Statistical significance is reported at level α = 0.05; associations in the multivariate models with p -values less than α = 0.1 are noted as approaching significance to avoid overlooking associations that were not significant because of limited sample size.

In the construction industry the 2005 injury rate was the same in the two groups, and there was a negative trend over time in both groups.

Evidence also shows that overweight and obesity is an increasing trend in Bangladesh.

An association with sex showed a trend toward significance, with females being 65% less likely than males to have undiagnosed hypertension (OR = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.11–1.15).

Cured cases showed a decreasing trend, and cases of treatment withdrawal were stationary.

Results There was an increasing trend of tuberculosis cases in patients under 20 years old and 20–39 years old, especially in males.

This association is weakly significant for female children.

Age > =60 years (OR 6.0, 95% CI 0.99–115, p = 0.10), male gender (OR 2.24, 95% CI 1.07–5.30, p = 0.04) and MotPMD use (OR 3.78, 95% CI 1.11–23.7, p = 0.07) were associated with sustaining significant injury, although age fell short of significance on multivariable analysis (Table 3 ).

Also, thirteen patients of the preferred group (68%) did not show a significant change in post-intervention depression, although three could not recover due to floor effects and eight showed a trend of (non-significant) improvement in depression.

Challenges faced in seeking treatment by patients were slightly significant to perceptions of access to treatment.

What’s more, the 95% CI of living with a spouse and child was (1.00, 1.32) which was so close to 1.00, meaning that such influence may be significant once we expand our sample size.

There was an increasing trend with age of inpatients going to community health centres rather than specialty hospitals.

Regarding the high prevalence and incidence of CVDs, there has been an increasing trend to ascertain the main determinants and underlying causes of these diseases.

A decreasing trend of depressive symptoms was related to decreasing helplessness/pessimism.

Moreover, this research highlights a worrying trend whereby the existing workforce experiences long working hours and high levels of absenteeism, which could attract legal culpability.

By HDI, there was a significant trend of increase in proxy SS-RS from a median of 0.188 in the “low” and 0.295 in the “medium” tiers, to 0.391 in the “high” and 0.540 in the “very high” tiers (Fig. 3 ).

Conversely, this study finds negative and mixed health outcomes reported among white and Latino men, respectively associated with minimum wage increases and a negative trend in health outcomes for black men.

found a significant trend to higher leisure time activity in participants with higher educational levels [ 41 ].

Conversely, the distribution of subjects across the categories of socioeconomic status, employment status, and study level revealed a significant trend towards being employed and belonging to a high socioeconomic class for subjects with sufficient literacy.

Systematic review of published papers illustrated that, of 24 provinces, or regions, only 4 provinces (Hunan, Guangdong, Gansu, Jiangxi) showed a trend of increased mean blood Pb levels, and the prevalence of Pb poisoning [ 18 ].

The prevalence of forgoing medical examinations or treatment was significantly higher, and with an increasing trend, among those at risk of poverty compared to those who were not (9.8% vs 6.0% between 2004 and 2007, 11.0% vs 5.8% between 2008 and 2012 and 14.1% vs 6.1% between 2013 and 2015).
