According to Model 4, when the mediating variables of social network and sense of hope were included, the direct effect of physical exercise on subjective well-being was marginally significant; that is, after controlling for the mediating variables and demographic social variables, the respondents’ subjective well-being score increased by 0.065 for every unit of physical exercise.

For example, some scholars have found a highly significant positive correlation between the intensity of physical activity, cognition of the importance of physical activity, and various dimensions of life satisfaction [ 21 , 22 ].

The Q m e d i a n of the slope is computed as: (2) Q = { Q [ ( n + 1 ) 2 ] , if N is odd Q [ ( n ) 2 ] + Q [ ( n + 2 ) 2 ] 2 , if N is even The absolute value of Sen’s slope represents the magnitude of the sequence change; if Sen’s slope >0, the sequence shows an increasing trend, whereas if Sen’s slope <0, the sequence shows a decreasing trend.

Even if only one group is a significant path, the difference between paths may be significant, and even if both groups are not significant, a significant difference between paths may exist.

However, it is worth noting that according to the research results of Sorensen, the stock of bonding social capital in rural areas is significantly greater than that of bridging social capital [ 43 ], and the amount of bridging social capital of the elderly in rural areas is also showing a decreasing trend [ 44 ].

MMT is generally cause-specific and varies across regions following a decreasing trend with latitude [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 57 , 66 , 75 ] which indicates some population adaptability to the local climate.

In addition, a study conducted by the Chinese Elderly Health Service Cohort from 1998 to 2011 found that the PM-induced mortality risk of pneumonia showed a decreasing trend ( p for trend = 0.034) as the green quartile increased from quartile 1 (lowest) to quartile 4 (highest) [ 25 ].

Furthermore, as predicted by Equation (6), the culture media under the ammonia condition exhibited a strong trend of acidity increase over time, where the pH, after an early increase from 7–7.5 in the first 3–5 days, experienced a steady decline, and ultimately reached ~4.5 at the end of the 20-day experiments ( Figure 1 B).

(4) When ecological economy development confronts the standard deviation shock of the tourism industry and technological progress, it responds positively in our research period, reaches the maximum in the third period, and then gradually shows a decreasing trend.

There may be significant differences between fathers and mothers in terms of mindfulness, marital satisfaction, and coparenting, influenced by factors such as gender and social roles.

Results: The crude incidence and mortality of breast cancer from 1990 to 2019 in Chinese women showed an increasing trend, with an average annual increase percentage (AAPC) of 4.69% and 2.18%, respectively.

Table S1 and Figure S1 illustrate that with the passage of time, the ratio of mortality and incidence shows a decreasing trend in all age groups.

From the perspective of the differences among the eight regional groups, the regional differences between the northwest comprehensive economic zone, the middle reaches of the Yangtze River comprehensive economic zone, the northern coastal comprehensive economic zone, the middle reaches of the Yellow River comprehensive economic zone, the southwest comprehensive economic zone and the northeast comprehensive economic zone show a significant trend of expansion, with the expansion rates of 88.71%, 78.67%, 76.27%, 64.52%, and 48.00% respectively.

Through systematic research, the research conclusions are as follows: (1) The interactive promotion effect and interdependence between China’s digital economy development and carbon emissions reduction have gradually increased, which means that the coupling and coordination have shown an increasing trend.

The average WQI values of the four sites ranged from 68.31 to 77.16, with a clear trend of deterioration from upstream to downstream.

Near to significance higher concentration of Cd and significantly higher Pb in the serum of COPD patients without therapy with inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) compared to those with ICS was found (0.4330 ± 0.1135 μg/L vs. 0.3687 ± 0.1017 μg/L, p = 0.054 for Cd, and 0.0811 ± 0.0166 μg/L vs. 0.0707 ± 0.0129 μg/L, p = 0.025 for Pb).

When evaluating the entire study period, the highest prevalence of use in pediatric patients was observed in Group J, albeit with a decreasing trend (with the proportion of patients with at least one prescription in a year ranging from 63.0% in 2008 to 48.2% in 2018), followed by Group A, showing an increasing trend (range from 12.9% in 2008 to 23.4% in 2018, with a maximum of 25.3% in 2016).
