Hazardous air pollutants will show a decreasing trend as the level of green technological innovation increases.

If we consider the change in physical activity practiced before COVID-19 and during lockdown, a significant increasing trend (within-group comparison) of the frequencies was observed for younger age groups ( Z = 2.73; p < 0.01), while a decreasing trend was shown by subjects in the three older age groups.

Before 2000, the landscape patterns of OC showed a trend of fragmentation, and after 2000, landscape connectivity increased.

In addition, offspring showed a trend of higher development of hepatic tumors in males and hematopoietic tumors in females.

The same study showed an increasing trend of tumors in offspring: hepatic tumors were higher in males, while hematopoietic tumors in females [ 52 ].

Further, the efficiency of ammonium nitrogen removal followed a decreasing trend until day 30, and the efficiency of ammonium nitrogen conversion soared from 40.8% to 70.8% from day 32.

In terms of toilet facility type, a significant trend of reduced risk was found among participants using a flush toilet (with septic tank) versus those using a pit latrine (IRR 0.69, 95% CI 0.51–0.92).

Although differential metabolites were obtained in this study, the metabolic pathway results showed marginal significance.

The decline in GP visit frequency was weaker and proved to be borderline significant in the multivariable model.

Heat is a secondary impact, and it has an inhibitory effect on habitat quality; (2) the overall distribution of regional ecological environment quality was quite different, with the ecological environment quality level showing a decreasing trend from low to high altitude; RSEI 0 spatial heterogeneity at the optimal scale of 2 km was the largest, and the nugget effect was 88% which indicated a high degree of spatial variability, mainly affected by structural factors; (3) Slope, relief amplitude, elevation, the proportion of high-vegetation area, proportion of construction land area, and average population density significantly impact the spatial differentiation of RSEI 0 .

The concentrations generally show a decreasing trend from west to east owing to a strong dilution effect.

The adjusted p -value for vegetable intake changed to 0.06, close to the level of significance set at 0.05.

We found a relatively low importance of shooting percentages in connection with selection, although in senior years a positive trend in the improvement of throwing percentages can be detected [ 33 ].

The forecasting principle of the GM (1, 1) model is as follows: A set of new data series with an obvious trend is generated by summing up a certain data series, a model is built to predict the growth trend of the new data series, the original data series is restored by reverse calculation with the method of reduction, and then the prediction result is obtained.

These data show an increasing trend year by year on the whole in the next 40 years.

GIR and GMR Values in the 14 Counties of the HRB from 2014 to 2018 From 2014 to 2018, the GIR and GMR values in the 14 counties in the HRB showed a decreasing trend over time, and the gender-specific GIR and GMR values showed similar trends in males ( Figure 2 and Figure 3 ).

SO 2 was associated with osteoporosis-related fracture with marginal significance (HR for an IQR [2 ppb] increase = 1.04, 95% CI: 1.00, 1.09).

In 2019, the coordination status of supply and demand was still on the verge of disorder until 2019, although it showed an overall trend towards coordinated development.

In addition, the regression coefficients for part of the control variables are positive and highly significant in all models, indicating that larger firms, higher taxes, more new investment, and stronger political connection with the government are associated with the greater corporate environmental investment.

Additionally, there was a higher proportion of obesity in the moderate dementia group than in the mild dementia group ( p = 0.09), which was slightly significant. 3.2.

A random-effects meta-analysis was performed when the studies’ heterogeneity was highly significant.

The differences were statistically highly significant (the level of significance of the chi-square test of the homogeneity of multinomic distributions was less than 2.10 −16 ).

The more recent the year at index mammogram, the higher the adjusted rate ratio of breast cancer for women with benign breast disease compared with women without benign breast disease, with the highest risk observed among those with index mammogram in 2011 to 2015 (RR = 3.11, 95% CI: 2.41 to 4.03) with a significant trend across calendar periods ( p -trend < 0.05) ( Figure 3 ).

A significant trend was observed in two UK studies, reporting an annual increase of 5% between 1998 and 2010 [ 6 ] and of 78% in 2012 compared with the year 2000 [ 11 ]; in Spain [ 12 ], the incidence significantly increased from 3.82 per 100,000 in 2004 to 6.98 in 2013; in Sweden, the incidence of IPF ranged from 10.4 to 15.4 cases per 100,000 population per year between 2001 and 2015 [ 22 ].

Finally, relevant data concerning other sleep disorders (e.g., obstructive sleep apnea, circadian rhythm disorders, and nightmares); health-relevant behaviors, such as substance misuse and the use of electronic devices; and specific psychological variables, such as resilience and coping, have not been gathered in our study, despite their role in the relationship between sleep and well-being, which is likely to be significant [ 24 , 72 , 73 , 74 ].
