If we talk about the relationship of health status with multimorbidity, we observed a clear trend: the higher the number of conditions in the patterns, the worse the values on the SF-12 scale in its two dimensions, a trend that is confirmed in other studies with health quality-of-life [ 16 , 68 , 69 , 70 ].

Nevertheless, for the scaling to industrial processes, determining the effect of the dispersion coefficient of the column might be significant, as well as mass transfer coefficients, in order to explain the possible nonidealities at later times.

On the other hand, in the coldest regions of the state, the increase in minimum temperatures causes thermal stress, especially in the most physiologically fragile people, a number that may also increase in the coming years with population aging, which is an observed trend.

Third, because this was a qualitative study, the results may not reflect an overall trend.

DHD showed a decreasing trend until 2012, and then increased thereafter.

In general, the proportion of DHD in the MSM transmission cases showed an increasing trend, from 14.3% in 2007 to 25.6% in 2018, while that in the heterosexual contact cases decreased from 43.8% in 2007 to 28.5% in 2011, and thereafter increased to 41.4% in 2018.
