Excerpts

However, recently an increasing trend in the prevalence of prediabetes and prehypertension conditions is commonly found among younger adults aged less than 35 years because of ongoing epidemiologic and demographic transition [ 25 , 28 , 36 ].

In general, the association between length of service and OHL was statistically significant and showed an evident trend with an increase in the length of service, particularly in the subgroup of middle or high school education level.

A decreasing trend was observed for ASMR and ASDR of those age 60 to 90 years old with a reverse trend only occurs in 80 to 84 years old (Figure S 5 ).

A generally increasing trend was observed in SEV of all seven other GBD super regions, North Africa and Middle East had the fastest increasing SEV as well as the highest ASMR and ASDR from 1990 to 2019 in this seven GBD super regions while High-income posed a relatively stable SEV as well as the lowest ASMR and ASDR, which showed a trend of general decrease (Figure S 3 ).

As for SEV of those age 60 years old or older, there exists a rapidly decline trend before 80 years old however an increasing trend in those aged 80 to 90 years old then decreased in 95+ age group.

The chi-square test showed a highly significant rural-urban differential in unmet needs for healthcare for majority of characteristics.

However, population ageing has contributed to an increasing trend NCDs, which are highly common among the elderly, putting them at risk of multiple chronic diseases as they age [ 2 ].

In terms of the NCD prevalence rates in each cohort by age group, there was a decreasing trend with more recent birth cohorts there was a decreasing trend t, thus indicating a lower prevalence of NCDs in the more recent birth cohorts (SI Appendix Table S 2 , Fig. 3 ).

The rate of CVD events showed an increasing trend from the normal weight to obese categories in both men (0.31, 0.41, and 0.45 per 10,000 person years, respectively) and women (0.11, 0.21, and 0.26 per 10,000 person years, respectively).

Holiday periods and their interaction for Children only show a barely significant association with a lower reported number of contacts.

Somatoform disorders showed a decreasing trend followed by an increasing trend.

The number of new diagnoses for schizophrenia and mood disorders increased early after school closure; while eating disorders showed an increasing trend several months later.

Also, there is an increasing trend in these associations, meaning that the proportion of children who are on track in their ECD increases along with the number of media used by their mothers.

This is supported by the statistical analysis which found that the main effect of intervention condition ( F (1, 1022) = 5.25, p = .02) was significant while that of wave ( F (1, 1022) = 3.15, p = .07) was marginally significant.

Again, it is likely that missing data and the choice to conduct a complete case analysis contributed to the borderline significance, given that n = 329 for Model 8.

We considered a p -value between 0.05 and 0.10 to be borderline significant.

Since the FFB-Mot showed moderately significant associations with fitness batteries in prior research, the use of self-reported questionnaires such as the FFB-Mot may be a simple and cost-effective way of assessing fitness in research studies.

Positive EAPC here represents an increasing trend of ASMR or ASDR, and negative EAPC represents a decreasing trend of ASMR or ASDR.

Study findings confirmed that direct and indirect relationships between factors associated with resilience identified during Lockdown 1, were comparable to Lockdown 2 (based on β coefficients and p -values); the notable exception being the relationship between social life limitations and psychological health, which was significant during Lockdown 1, while trending towards significance during Lockdown 2.

Correlation of flood occurrence and duration with malaria incidence in children under five years According to Table 1 , the rate of malaria incidence in children < 5 years showed a moderately significant, albeit weak and negative correlation with flood occurrences within the three decades.

The percentages of the vaccinated participants showed an increasing trend during the study period (Supplementary Fig. 1, Additional file 1 ).

These mediation effects were highly significant and further added to our notion that SEP plays a significant contributing role to one’s overall health and that this relationship is mediated by perceived weight, i.e., being overweight.

Globally, the mortality risk of successive younger birth cohorts also showed a trend of differences among SDI quintiles.

While our objective was not to explore the role of parental smoking and socioeconomic status in their children’s smoking, we acknowledge that these factors may be significant contributors to smoking inequalities among offspring, and future studies could investigate their role.

In the age group of less than one year, both classes 1 and 3 exhibited significant mean slope estimates, indicating a decreasing trend in the frequencies of causes of death from 2014 to 2018.
