The association between use of the local radio and feeling informed was approaching significance.

According to Collinson et al, [ 57 ] since 1997 there has been an increasing trend in the number of temporary female labour migrants in the Agincourt sub-district, a poor area with limited employment opportunities with resulting pressures to migrate and remit wages back to the rural household.

Univariate analysis Later time period, higher number of cumulative household deaths, death of previous sibling and mother dying in the first year of infant's life were large and highly significant risk factors for infant mortality (Table 1 ).

Our results show an increasing trend of smoking rates and decreasing rates of smoking cessation even for moderate levels of psychological distress, consistent with the idea that mental disorders of mild and moderate severity are significant risk factors for smoking and inhibitors of smoking cessation [ 13 ].

Generally, a decreasing trend on PMMR in China was detected with the PMMR during the 1996-2000 period, which was higher than that during the 2001-2005 period.

There is epidemiological evidence from Western countries that show an increasing trend of obesity in men [ 25 ], and the same trend may now be emerging in developing countries as well.

Further analyses showed a trend towards a moderator effect of perceived environmental sensitivity on the relation between perceived proximity to BS and NSPS.

Still, the effect of actual distance in our study was increased considerably in the fourth model and almost reached borderline significance.

Nevertheless, opportunistic screening remained less costly with a statistically highly significant difference in mean cost between delivery models.

Baseline values for each variable considered are highly significant predictors.

An increasing trend was also identified for cases notified and suspect referral during the period 2004-2009.

Specifically, a positive trend could be the result of a concurrent national message or some form of non-campaign communication in the control community.

Figure 2 shows evidence of an increasing trend in the public's perceived vulnerability overtime.

It shows that it is not possible to fit a horizontal line between bands of the first two graphs, indicating evidence of a decreasing trend in government trust (Figure 1 , Table 2 ).

A few estimates approached marginal significance but in inconsistent directions.

These comparisons were both highly significant using independent t-tests.

One item - linking obesity to access to poor foods - showed to be a highly significant predictor for support of all three policies.

A highly significant Intervention group* Test round interaction was found for weight loss, BMI, fat percentage, waist circumference and diastolic blood pressure.

Analyses were also tested with only income (in which income was slightly significant) and with only assets (in in which assets were slightly more significant) - as well as subsequent analyses - suggested that this high correlation is not driven by a variable omitted from this analysis.

Results for the scale scores of home life and financial pressure and the ASQ summary score were borderline significant.

The intervention significantly decreased the frequency of injecting drug use, and showed a trend to increase the frequency of using a new syringe.

P-value of 0.1 was chosen to balance the development of a parsimonious model while still including those variables that were of borderline significance.

Patients with Medicaid coverage were still less likely to receive aspirin (0.92, 0.87-0.98) and, with borderline significance, optimal therapy (0.94, 0.88-1.00), compared to patients without Medicaid coverage.

Overall, sitting-time was not significantly related to the OR of being obese (p(trend) = 0.32), although a significant trend was observed in women (Table 3 ).

Public perceptions, which can be influenced by certain key events in a population, may be significant.
