While effect sizes around 1.5–2.0 represent moderate risks, they remain highly significant from a public health perspective due to their broad population impact.

In contrast, time-varying characteristics between ages 22 and 49 might be significant confounders for the associations between work and income trajectories and health outcomes at age 50.

Based on three regression models, the odds of having hypertension increased significantly with an increasing trend as age advanced, family history of hypertension, tobacco chewing, Obesity (BMI > 25.5), and salt consumption (> 5gm/day) were found to be significantly associated with the prevalence of hypertension among adult population of rural areas after controlling for all the confounders.

In addition, the incidence rate of AF/AFL in both females and males showed an increasing trend in all age groups under 65 years old, and a decreasing trend in the older groups.

While some genotypes declined, others showed an increasing trend, emphasizing the need for continuous surveillance.

Participants with consistently high pain site count had the highest CVD risk compared to those with consistently low count (HR 1.94, 95% CI 1.53–2.46), while those with a decreasing trend in pain site count had a lower risk (HR 1.49, 95% CI 1.26–1.78).

Conclusions Conceptive uptake at the UCH followed an increasing trend from 2018 to 2022.

Conclusions There was a slightly increasing trend in the number of clients who accessed contraceptive services at the family planning clinic in UCH, Ibadan from 2018 to 2022.

Instead, there was a notable trend: average depression scores tended to increase around periods when topics regarding health problems, stressful incidents, and arguments with family were reported more frequently.

The results suggest that there were positive associations of CircS scores with gout and hyperuricemia, as shown by a trend test analysis, with a significant trend observed across all six models.

Low-SDI regions still face a heavy burden, while some regions show an increasing trend.

This indicates an increasing trend in air pollution particularly in densely populated districts like Colombo in Sri Lanka, where annual ambient PM 10 levels consistently surpass the WHO, United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and Sri Lankan Guideline values [ 28 ].

When the AAPC value was > 0, it indicated that the corresponding age-standardized rate (ASR) was in an increasing trend; otherwise, it indicated a decreasing trend.

Furthermore, we found significant subgroup differences for gender (TT4), thyroid disease (TT4, FT4, and FT3), and borderline significance for age group (FT4).

Our study identified a positive correlation between the Bone Mineral Content Index (BMCI) and the Physical Fitness T-score (PFT), lower limb muscular strength, and speed-agility, along with a positive trend with cardiorespiratory endurance.

1 , a clear trend of lower smoking cessation probability for higher levels of deprivation was evident; the least deprived neighbourhood decile had the highest crude incidence rate of quitting at 236.99 (95% CI 224.02, 250.71) per 1,000 person-years, while the most deprived decile had the lowest rate at 161.29 (95% CI 151.31, 171.93) per 1,000 person-years (Table 2 ).

The food consumption dimension has a positive high level, with food insecurity ( r = 0.771, p < 0.01), panic buying ( r = 0.463, p < 0.01) and the budget dimension ( r = 0.698, p < 0.01) seemingly having a moderately significant positive relationship.

Over time, economic, urban‒rural, and regional relative inequalities followed a U-shaped pattern, whereas absolute inequalities remained constant, except for regional absolute disparities, which showed a decreasing trend.

Similarly, the simple relative measure (R) showed a slight decrease pattern of economic inequality from 2007 to 2013 but an increasing trend from 2013 to 2017.

As the length of education increases, inmates exhibit a growing trend in their nature exposure, while a decreasing trend is observed in suicidal tendency.

In the SDI regions, the ASPR of UCA exhibited a decreasing trend in both the higher and lower SDI regions, while conversely displaying an increasing trend in the Middle SDI regions.

Results Over the past 32 years, the ASPR and ASDR of KS and male infertility have shown an increasing trend, which is projected to continue through 2050.

1D) showed an increasing trend with age.

Anxiety associated with reduced odds of vaccination There was some indication that teachers with higher levels of anxiety were less likely to be vaccinated; with the marginally significant effect in Model 2 becoming significant after controlling for gubernatorial party in Model 3.

Female children showed a trend towards higher vitamin D deficiency (OR 1.37, 95% CI 0.91–2.06).
