Excerpts

We also calculated regression analyses without any joinpoint to test whether a significant trend existed over the entire period of 62 years.

Asthma data collected from all around the world indicate an increasing trend of asthma morbidity and mortality despite the availability of effective symptomatic treatment.

GSTO1 (glutathione S-transferase omega) related SNP in arsenic (As) metabolism exhibited nominally significant interactions with well-water “As” for connections with cardiovascular disease (CVD), coronary heart disease (CHD), or stroke [ 92 ]; in addition, GSTT1 polymorphisms serve as a potential genetic factor for arsenic-induced skin cancer [ 93 ].

Further studies involving a larger cohort of subjects will permit to consolidate data on hair concentration of V, S, Zn, and Ca/Mg, that were nearly statistically significant, and to examine the activity of detoxifying enzymes in ASD and CTR children.

Therefore, it is fairly significant to carry out a comparative simulation analysis for water quality of rivers during their ice-covered and open-water periods in the northern cold region of China.

As shown in the volcano plots for females ( Figure 2 a,c) and males ( Figure 2 b,d), genes that are highly dysregulated compared to controls are farther to the left and right sides of the plots, while highly significant gene expression changes appear higher on the plots.

Furthermore, our data indicate a highly significant difference in the sources of information on sexuality between northern and southern Italy.

As shown in Table 2 , when all the independent variables were added simultaneously in the model, “perceived supportiveness of NEs for PA” remained a highly significant and positive predictor of NE-based PA.

A further consideration is the area around a person’s home in which the contribution of green space may be significant with respect to their health.

Konisky [ 16 ] found that for Hispanic communities, firms are not only more likely to be significant violators of their Clean Air Act obligations, but they are less likely to be designated as violators by regulatory offices.

Both the functions-ACF and PACF show significant spikes at lag 1 for seasonally differenced data, and almost significant spikes at lag 3 for PACF, showing some added non-seasonality terms to be included in the model ( Figure 5 ).

In Miami, none of the racial/ethnic/nativity groups are significantly over- or under-represented in 100-year flood zones, although the result for non-Hispanic Whites approaches statistical significance for overrepresentation.

Results: There was an increasing trend observed in the reported cases of HIV/AIDS in Fujian Province.

The criteria for significance in the procedures was set at p < 0.05 (significant) and p < 0.01 (highly significant). 3.

Due to competition or cooperation, there may be significant relationships between pairs of hospitals, and between hospitals and pharmacies on a distance measure.

To better understand the national trends in lung cancer in China, many relevant studies have been conducted, and most of the studies described an increasing trend.

The sustained quitters were on average 177 g heavier than the partial quitters although this difference did not quite reach statistical significance (95% CI: −5–358 g), p = 0.057. 3.2.

When both robust LM error and lag test statistics are highly significant, the analysis may select the model with the larger value of the statistics [ 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 ].

An increasing trend was identified in Japan, Korea, and Hong Kong [ 11 ].

Higher I 2 values with highly significant Q test were seen for rainfall values deviating from 300 mm per week.

An increasing trend was found in the prevalence of overweight and obesity and a decreasing trend for stunting, underweight, and wasting.

There were some marginally significant increases for some metals and 3-PBA for ASD; however further studies are warranted in order to make any definitive association.

Collaboration between Stakeholders We observed a clear trend in our results, suggesting that stakeholders on a higher level (i.e., activators) had a much more positive perception towards the quality of collaborations compared to intermediaries, which in turn were more positive than care organisations, the more local level of stakeholders considered in our study.

revealed for the first time a highly significant correlation between H. pylori infection and atrial fibrillation [ 8 ].

Extremely significant regional differences were also observed for the diet quality of Chinese residents as follows: (1) the diet quality of residents living in southern regions was more satisfactory than that of residents living in northern regions ( p < 0.001); and (2) people living in more urbanized areas had higher DQI scores ( p < 0.001).
