8–23)) and a significant trend of increasing disease prevalence with increasing cumulative respirable silica dust categories was observed (p trend < 0.01).

The incidence rate of completed suicide showed a decreasing trend among males during the years of 2008–2012 which increased again during 2012–2013.

There was an increasing trend for attempted suicides during 1993–2013 with a very sharp rising trend from year 2007 onward either for men and women.

The mean 4 × 10 m shuttle-run values show a decreasing trend with age and sex, as shown in Table 3 .

There was marginal significance between ethnicity and non-completion of upper secondary school, measured at 41.3 % for Sami and 36.8 % for non-Sami, respectively.

In our study, private well as the main drinking water source was a borderline significant risk factor (at the 0.1 level) by univariate analysis (mOR = 2.1; 95 % CI 0.91–4.7) as found by others, including in Canada [ 9 , 10 , 30 , 40 , 42 , 44 ].

For intermediate (6–10 months) and long-term (more than 10 months) follow-up periods, the effect was statistically significant ( OR = 1.40, 95 % CI = 1.16–1.68) and marginally significant ( OR = 1.22, 95 % CI = 0.99–1.50) among the randomised trials respectively.

However the interaction between parent steps and income ( B = .25, p = .07, r partial = .09), and parent steps and education ( B = .38, p = .02, r partial = .11) both approached significance.

These data show a clear trend for the HIV PWID epidemic which started its emergence in the late 1990s, reached a peak around the year 2005, then stabilized over the last decade or so at a national prevalence of about 15% [ 3 ] (Additional file 3 ).

Taking into consideration possible limitations of this study, particularly the use of cross-sectional design to examine time trends and the relative youngness of the study sample, these results suggest that the current hype of waterpipe smoking is a recent one, commencing mostly in the nineties of the 20 th century, and showing an increasing trend.

More male children ( n = 684, 30.5%) were having low BMI Z scores compared to female children ( n = 584, 26.9%) and this difference was statistically significant (Chi-square 6.96, p < .031). Distribution of height for age showed an increasing trend of low height for age (stunting) with age.

Given that young people have incorporated new technologies into their leisure-time activities to a great extent [ 30 ] and that there has been a decreasing trend in Spain of active commuting to school [ 31 ], moderate-vigorous activity and active commuting (mainly walking) to school should be encouraged, among other activities [ 32 , 33 ].

Significant and almost significant explaining variables were retained in the final model with continuous variables.

4b , we observed an increasing trend of the index's within-household variability in terms of standard deviation (median [IQR]) from no-mild (2.2 [1.2, 2.8]), moderate (3.4 [2.5, 4.4]) to the severe HFI group (4.8 [3.6, 5.1]).

However, it must be noted that the highlighted associations in the paper are highly significant and likely to remain so even if corrected for multiple comparisons.

Smoking was also associated with poor self-rated health, although the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test showed a marginal significance.

Our review demonstrates that there may be significant obesity and PA-related benefits in using fuel excise taxation as more than a neutral revenue-raising stream.

Based on the Framingham risk score a clear trend toward higher total risk in association with socioeconomic development was observed among men, while among women there was considerable overlap, with the US participants having only a modestly higher risk score.

RDTs have a high diagnostic accuracy across contexts, although a worrying trend of lower specificity in the retail sector needs to be examined.

A systematic review on alcohol harm showed a decreasing trend in alcohol consumption among adolescents in the UK [ 3 ]; a similar trend was also observed in cigarette use among school-aged children in England [ 4 ].

These predictors were severity of child externalising behaviour and age of child, although the latter was only marginally significant.

This is a negative trend, because very few return to work after having received disability pension [ 3 ].

Again, a highly significant reduction of PTSD, depression and anxiety symptomology was observed in the intervention group compared to a waitlisted control group.

A tendency to rise with age, at the level of borderline significance, was only found when low HDL-cholesterol levels were defined according to IDF criteria.

Similarly, rates of overweight, obesity, and abdominal obesity exhibited a significant trend of rising with age.
