At the same time, there is an important trend of increasing Internet access via mobile devices.

In a meta-analysis, Anderson et al. [ 25 ] reported that the relationship between anxiety and glycemic control only approached significance, though anxiety measured via diagnostic interviews was significantly associated with hyperglycemia.

In our study, univariate analysis showed a trend toward higher mortality among HT users, and age probably had an effect on this group.

While we found that, as per the literature, violence in the last year was highly related to psychological distress, lifetime sexual assault was not significantly associated with our dependent variable, although a clear trend was identifiable in the bivariate analyses (22.7% of participants who had been a victim of sexual violence in life reported PD, compared with 13.5% of those who had not been a victim of such assaults; F = 3.7; p = .05); this link became non-significant when controlled for other variables.

No greater effects were found among those who attended more sessions (compared to controls) versus those attending fewer (versus controls) except for physical IPV, which is borderline significant among men attending fewer than 13 sessions (Table 4 ).

Conclusions IV coverage in the elderly population displayed an increasing trend, but the 75% WHO 2010 target was not met.

We note a significant positive association between chronic pain and lifetime heavy drinking, and a borderline significant finding with twelve-month heavy drinking.

The multivariate model for high risk of depression showed a marginally non-significant association between poor household infrastructure function and this outcome (OR 2.23, CI 0.98-5.07).

In adolescents musculoskeletal pain is most prevalent [ 2 - 4 ], showing an increasing trend in the last two decades [ 5 ], with females being more troubled [ 4 , 5 ].

There was an interesting trend toward increased VUR with an increase in the number of community involvement actions, suggesting a dose-effect response.

When considering the percentage of one’s lifetime spent living in the United States, a clear trend was observed, where the lower the percentage of lifetime, the higher the likelihood of T. gondii seropositivity (AOR = 2.5; 95% CI, 1.9-3.4 for living ≤40% of lifetime compared to ≥76%).

In high-income countries there is also a decreasing trend in smoking behaviour among men but still a slightly increasing trend among women.

In middle- and low-income countries a decreasing trend can be observed among men; smoking prevalences among women, however, are still very low and remained stable over time.

Parental praise and parental co-participation were also both associated with adolescents’ MVPA on weekend days, although the association only approached significance.

A greater time period may be required to observe a clear trend in prevalence rates, especially when comparing studies with different sample sizes, age ranges and using varying methods.

However, when we repeated the analyses adjusting for other potential confounding variables, the association remained only marginally significant ( P for trend = 0.064) (Table 3 ).

Our data showed a trend in the risk of laryngeal cancer through all educational levels.

Surveillance systems in Canada have identified an increasing trend of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis ( S.

It is estimated that 5.8 million people or 21% of the entire Malaysian population suffer from hypertension and there was an increasing trend over the past decade [ 3 ].

It is estimated that NCDs account for 67% of all deaths in Malaysia and there has been an increasing trend in recent decades [ 1 , 2 ].

An increasing trend of TB prevalence was observed in Atse Theodros Campus from zero in 2007 to 214.4/100,000 populations in 2011.

Even assuming that those lost to follow-up kept their pretest value of cardiovascular risk, there was a highly significant difference among pretest and posttest risk of cardiovascular disease (symmetry exact significance probability = 0.0000).

The highly significant risks were associated with friends smoking in terms of most or all friends smoking (OR = 14.10; 95% CI = 10.60-18.8), and some friends smoking (4.70; 95% CI = 4.43-7.36).

Our model of sex, school grade level and overall SBMU (<2 hours, > 2 hours) supported our hypothesis that SBMU would be higher among older participants: with the exception of Grade 3 there was an overall trend for increasing SBMU across both boys and girls as they got older (up to 16 years).

The campaign was associated with a marginally significant increase in the likelihood of purchasing foods promoted as healthy in intervention restaurants.
