The increase in physical activity was of borderline significance.

Based on previous National Health and Morbidity Surveys (NHMSs) carried out in 2006, 2011 and 2015, an increasing trend of overweight and obesity prevalence was observed among Malaysian adults aged 18 years and older: 29.1% (95% CI: 28.6–29.7) and 14.5% (95% CI: 13.6–14.5) in 2006 [ 15 ], 29.4% (95% CI: 28.4–30.4) and 15.1% (95% CI: 14.3–15.9) in 2011 [ 16 ], 30.0% (95% CI: 29.1–31.0) and 17.7% (95% CI: 16.9–18.5) in 2015, respectively [ 17 ].

In people with burnout, light therapy showed a trend in reducing the symptoms more compared to a waiting list group [ 7 ].

Both equations performed well, with adjusted R squared of 0.98 for the hospitals equation and 0.99 for the health centers equation, and highly significant F-statistics.

An increasing trend was observed for both genders in the number of people extending their working life.

Even after adjustment for SBA attendance or place of delivery, settlement and ethnicity were still likely to be significant factors.

A decreasing trend of fatal traffic accidents was observed over the study period both for the elderly and other age groups.

The results showed a trend similar to that for the results that included participants who died within 3 years after the start of follow-up ( P for trend = 0.401).

We found an overall trend where, irrespective of how adiposity group was classified (BMI, BIA or WHR), lower body weight resulted in stronger relationships between accelerometer and questionnaire-assessed sedentary behaviour, walking and MVPA (Rho = 0.14–0.58).

The lack of a clear trend of increasing mortality with increasing age of transfer suggests no cumulative effects of adversities during the first 7 years of life.

Community factors Living in a village as compared to a plantation community had a highly significant effect on participation (OR = 18.9, 95%CI = 12.5–28.5).
