Results from Model 2B show that the variable for spouse labor migration status which was significantly associated with HIV/AIDS communication in Model 2A is no longer statistically significant, while that of women who express worry about infection from husbands remains highly significant net of network resources and other characteristics (OR = 2.98).

Therefore we observe here an increasing trend for the number of cells with time and bath guest but its statistical significance is not demonstrated.

While these differences in fecal bacteria levels were only statistically significant for the relationship between total coliforms and improved sanitation, this is an interesting trend that deserves further examination.

The associations were statistically significant for perceived weight among both boys and girls and nearly statistically significant for actual obesity among girls and all participants.

Although the overall positive changes were highly significant (<0.001), no statistically significant changes were found for the item (v), people who share my hobbies and interests and item (mean difference 0.016, SD 1.39, SEM 0.05, t 0.28, df 640, p = 0.77) and (vi), people in my life who really care about me (mean difference 0.01, SD 1.01, SEM 0.04, t −0.19, df 654, p = 0.85).

investigated the association between GGT and MetS, reporting a highly significant relationship between GGT and MetS even after adjusting for age, BMI, and alcohol consumption [ 32 ].

The CRT protocol was effective for the significant decrease of BMI, SBP, DBP, CVD risk index and an increase of SpO 2 near significance.

In MANOVA, estradiol and androstenedione showed significant differences among groups, while dehydroepiandrosterone, insulin, and HOMA-IR showed marginally significant differences.

Secondly, BPA may also potentially contribute to the development of insulin resistance, although this study showed marginal significance.

After adjusting for confounders, a statistical trend toward significance was found for the relationship between lithium levels and the average SMR among females.

The proportion of latrines whose owners plan to empty them (60%) is considerably higher than the portion of latrines emptied to date (36%) pointing to an increasing trend of emptying rather than replacing full latrines.

Comparisons of buildings from Northern, Central and Southern European climatological regions show an increasing trend in infiltration in warmer climates [ 59 ].

One study found a positive trend between light exposure and physical activity, although this was only in a small sample of adults [ 31 ].

Except for O x , pollutant concentrations are lower than the entire Kanto region average, and had a decreasing trend over the decade.

We then introduced three simple criteria to reduce the number of monitoring stations: (1) retain the monitoring station if there were similarities between its data and average data of the group to which it belongs; (2) retain the station if its data showed higher concentrations; and (3) retain the station if the monitored concentration levels had an increasing trend.

The results of the academic intervention moved students in a positive direction with changes being at or near significance.

An increasing trend of As accumulation rates in roots was found in roots with increasing As treatment concentrations, while opposite trends were found in stems and leaves.

The SPEI with the optimal time scales further indicated that the extent of drought across the entirety of China displayed an increasing trend during the period from 1982 to 2011, with the frequency of drought increasing during the 21st century and the drying trend occurring in most of China.
