Twenty-two subsamples, therefore most of the studies, suggested a decreasing trend for the lower limb strength in children and adolescents [ 30 , 32 , 33 , 35 , 36 , 40 , 43 , 44 , 45 ].

Within the 24 studies included, there were 148 subsamples: 35 subsamples reported an increase of PF, 20 subsamples showed stagnation with no significant changes over the period analyzed, and 93 subsamples found a negative trend in different PF tests.

Although the universal two-child policy has slowed down the decline of the total population and labor force to some extent in China, some predicted results also showed that a decreasing trend of the total population has not changed [ 48 ].

An interesting trend was shown by the measurement of relative maximal F divided into left and right limbs compared to double legs, but only in women.

On February 3 (143 cases) and February 4 (142 cases), articles related to “corona” showed an increasing trend, and the government restricted the entry of foreigners from Hubei Province, China, and carried out the measurements of the “special entry procedure” for immigrants and temporary suspension of entry to Jeju-do visa.

This analysis generated two highly significant sets of differentially expressed genes that originated from comparing the T2DM dataset with Control subjects (see details in [ 38 , 43 ]). 2.5.

In addition, the industrial operation has a strong relationship with PM 2.5 pollution concentration in southwest regions where the industrial operation was less affected and PM 2.5 pollution also showed a slightly increasing trend.

On the other hand, KNHANES and KNEHS showed a clear trend of decreasing lead concentrations as the monthly household income increased.

A positive trend was further reported, whereby physicians had more knowledge and carried a positive attitude towards COVID-19 as compared to nurses and pharmacists (τ = 0.411 and 0.398, respectively) (See Table 6 ). 4.

These are non-systemic errors [ 51 ] and may be significant. 5.

For other metabolites concentration level (acetic, malic acid and TRP) we observe a decreasing trend after the treatment with rifaximin, although the statistical significance is not reached.

The greatest proportion of reports was sent by the Psychiatric Operating Unit ( n = 58/200; 29.0%); in the period under analysis for some operating units, there was an increase in reports over the years (Psychiatry and First Aid); for others there was a decreasing trend (Pediatrics and Gastroenterology) ( Table 1 ).

The results emerged showed an increasing trend in the number of total records.

The PAC group showed a trend for less time per day spent sitting compared to the control group (5.6, 95% CI 4.8, 6.4 vs. 8.0, 95% CI 5.6, 10.4, ES = 0.8; β = −2.4, 95% CI −4.9, 0.1) following 12 weeks of intervention.

In addition, we did not find a clear trend between exposure time in night work and PCa risk, in line with previous studies [ 26 , 28 , 29 ].

Australia has one of the highest prevalence rates of asthma in the world [ 15 ], with 11.2% of the population affected in 2018 following an increasing trend over the previous 10 years [ 16 ].

All variables that had shown significant or marginally significant bivariate correlations with the outcome (see Table S1 ) were considered as predictors.

As for the best values of each parameter, most of them occurred after 2010, which showed that most sites have a positive trend of water quality.

S1 was the only special one with the best values occurring before 2010 and the worst values occurring after 2010, indicating that the water quality in S1 may have a negative trend.

In the fully adjusted Cox–PH analysis, only the untreated hypercholesterolemia group showed a marginally significant risk of CCVDs and related deaths in Table S2 and a highly significant risk in Table S3 .

These effects may be significant in athletic training and will be discussed in further detail below.

However, when constant precipitation was assumed, the groundwater recharge presented a decreasing trend, indicating the importance of maintaining and conserving grasslands from the viewpoint of groundwater conservation.

The marginal effect of economic development on life expectancy presents a decreasing trend.

The regression coefficient of average years of education showed a trend of gradual increase from east to west, from north to south, with the western areas (most of the prefecture-level cities in Tibet and Xinjiang) being the largest, and the coastal cities in northeast China reaching the minimum value.

The PM 2.5 concentration profile shows a decreasing trend as the altitude increases with the concentration median of 53 μg m –3 on the ground and 44 μg m –3 at the 100 m altitude.
