In nearly 20 years, severe haze events have been showing an increasing trend in China.

In the medium income tracts, a slight, marginally significant increase in number of supermarkets over time was observed, possibly creating greater competition among convenience stores and pulling customers away from these small businesses.

In this mediation model, the associations between the emotional competence of perceiving, expressing and managing emotions and measures of well-being (such as life satisfaction, positive and negative affect, somatic complains and perceived stress) were highly significant ( Table 3 ).

This belies an increasing trend toward multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary data collection and decision making in all areas of disaster and crisis medicine and management [ 14 ].

For example, in Australia, this includes encouraging community tsunami and earthquake risk acceptance in states (e.g., Tasmania, New South Wales) where these hazards are rare but capable of creating highly significant impacts on communities with little or no warning [ 52 , 53 ].

The declining trend in overall tobacco use was driven by decreasing smoking prevalence that more than offset an increasing trend in smokeless tobacco use.

There existed a clear trend of increasing Moran’s I in Dysentery incidence, but a slight decreasing in Tuberculosis incidence from 2007 to 2016 in China; both results were significant at the p = 0.001 level.

The epigenetic modulation of Kiss1 or Kiss1r genes within the hypothalamus at puberty onset has been investigated in females, providing evidence that the methylation of both Kiss1 and Kiss1r genes promotes changes across puberty [ 41 ], with the development of highly significant puberty-specific differential promoter methylation patterns.

Among men, there was an increasing trend in lung cancer mortality in Osasco of 0.7% (CI: 0.1; 1.3) in contrast to a mean annual decrease for Sorocaba of -1.5% (CI: −2.4; −0.6) and a stable average trend for São Paulo of -0.1 (IC: −0.3; 0.1).
