However, there was an increasing trend in paraquat poisoning in India.

Children in the middle age group (11–13 years) are 9 min more physically active (barely significant), and children in the oldest age group (14–17 years) are 18 min more physically active than children in the youngest age group (6–10 years).

Together these findings suggest a negative trend over time in relation to the perceived effectiveness and transparency of the government actions taken during the pandemic.

Furthermore, the results of the present study from the regression model found that repetition, posture and force (approximately significant) were risk factors for shoulder symptoms in men, whereas posture (approximately significant) was a risk factor in women (Table 5 ).

indicated that age was marginally significant for shoulder disorders [ 52 ].

The effect of hospital bed capacity on time to death from hospital without ICU is marginally significant, but with only a small effect resulting in only a day’s difference between small and large hospitals.

The incidence rate showed a positive trend over 11 years for all age groups and syndromes.

Sleeping habits ranged from ≥7 h for 38% of the individuals and less than 5 hours for 17% of the individuals, with a clear trend of more sleeping hours in individuals living in municipalities (Additional file 1 : Table S1).

Results Within-subjects analyses showed that when the adolescents sat more and when the adolescents spent more time sitting in bouts of ≥30 min than they usually did on a given day, they slept less during the following night ( p = 0.01 and p = 0.05 (borderline significant), respectively).

Some of our findings reflect an encouraging trend: participants < 18 years old were, for example, more likely to be diagnosed with SCD by age four compared to those > = 18 years old, had fewer SCD diagnoses in the acute setting, and more SCD diagnoses prompted by targeted testing due to a family history of SCD.

Likewise, the rate of caesarean delivery was low among older women in Bihar, while it had an increasing trend with the increasing age of women in Tamil Nadu.

Male exclusive former SLT users aged 65+ had borderline significant HRs of 1.43 (95% CI: 1.00–2.05) for smoking-related diseases and 1.44 (95% CI: 0.99–2.11) for SLT-related diseases.

Psychosis-related visits were not significantly reduced, and alcohol-related visits were reduced at a level that approached significance (Table 1 ).

There was a positive trend in the association between schooling and odds of TB cure, especially in the case of secondary schooling, with 1.72 odds of cure (95% CI 1.30–2.29) compared to illiterate individuals.

However; it was reported that malaria incidence is showing a decreasing trend in Ethiopia that could reduce the public’s perception of the disease [ 8 , 24 ].

For both groups, odds ratios for contrasts between 2014 and 2019 were in the direction of continued lowering of the odds of ever smoking, though were of borderline significance for the whole sample only.

greater tolerance) of others’ smoking over time, with contrasts of 2007 and 2008 with 2014 marginally significant, and further decline evident from 2014 to 2019, although smaller and not significant for children of smokers.

Generally, in each output, the Z-score is high and positive with a highly significant p -value which showed 99% confidence for clustering of undernutrition across regions in Ethiopia (Fig. 2 A-D).

Given the large sample size, the p -value is likely to be significant even when differences may not be meaningful.

The percentage of smoking cessation has increased significantly and a decreasing trend in smoking prevalence, especially among men was estimated [ 27 , 28 ].

Specifically, among men the difference (between the third and the second time-period) is small (HR = 0.92, 95% CI 0.90–0.95, p -value < 0.001), while among women, although the difference is still detectable, it is slightly significant (HR = 0.97, 95% CI 0.94–1.00, p -value 0.067).

After adjusting for inflation, all three types of sales showed a significant trend of increasing value of per capita monthly sales over time pre-pandemic.

did alcohol sales increase because of an overall trend of increased consumer spending or due to factors more specific to alcohol).

In most of the studies, measures of HRV were reduced, suggesting an overall trend toward withdrawal of parasympathetic tone.

For diabetes, the ASPMR continuously increased until 2009 (APC 7.1%), then, a decreasing trend from 2009 to 2013 (APC − 12.3%), whereas an increasing trend from 2013 to 2018 (APC 5.1%) was observed without significance (AAPC -1.3, 95% CI [− 6.1 to 3.8%]) (Table 3 ).
