Increasing Se supported a decrease in abnormal sperm head morphology, and increasing nickel (Ni) was associated with an increasing trend for abnormal sperm head morphology.

In the age group 1–4 years, the pattern is less defined, without relevant fluctuations until season 2013-2014, and from season 2014–2015 to season 2019–2020, the rates show a positive trend (APC (CI95%): 34.6 (12.7; 60.8)), a drop in season 2020–2021, and then reach their series record of 1.16/1000 in season 2021–2022.

The apparent discrepancy between low correlations and highly significant regression coefficients may arise from the nature of these statistical analyses.

Again, there is a significant trend in the English sample towards greater permissiveness in abusive online behaviour compared with the Spanish sample.

We used a longer period as a reference to take into account a possible trend component, as the geographical area under study has been affected in recent years by legislative interventions aimed at mitigating the environmental risks.

We found a small, borderline significant impact of annual temperature, but not of annual precipitation on annual deaths.

The association of UFP (PNC (<100 nm)) showed a trend towards a decrease with MEF 25 % –75% , only.

Due to the profound effect food outlet access has on childhood obesity, there may be significant implications for chronic disease prevalence in single mothers driven by this dimension of food insecurity.

Most of the studies mentioned above showed an increasing trend in NDVI, especially since the 21st century, but differences were observed in the results.

We highlighted that FR most exposed to horror during the attacks were more likely to develop partial PTSD (and borderline significance for PTSD).

The relationship between these variables was weak, and the correlation almost insignificant.

There was a significant trend of decreasing risk of ischemic stroke admissions with an increasing number of vaccinations.

The population aged 85 and above was the only age group that showed a significant trend in the hospitalization rate in winter, with an annual increase of 23.3 episodes per 100,000 population (95% CI: 15.3–31.3).

Although an increasing trend across AL groups was not detected for age, ORs increased with increasing age for all AL groups with the largest ORs observed among participants with high ALs (adjusted ORs [95% CI] = 19.1 [1.8, 201.6] and 33.3 [3.6, 305.5] for ages 20–28 years and 29–44 years, respectively).

We find a decreasing trend of risk only in young/adults suggesting specific information campaigns.

[ 6 ] reported that there was a marginally significant decrease in the latency to constriction in patients with depression.

An assessment has revealed a positive trend in the annual Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) across a significant portion of the total area, particularly in the dust source regions.

Further, the breakdown of sales channels for hearing aids showed a positive trend between adoption rate and relative user empowerment by product design [ 35 ].

A borderline significant association between organisational attitude and intention to implement the intervention was found.

Taiwan’s enactment of the Tobacco Hazards Prevention Act in 2009 represents an encouraging trend, and the government plans to tackle tobacco control even more aggressively in the coming years.

Fourth, results from highly significant statistics ( Ǫ , Ǫ i , Ǫ t , and the cardinality of the results from these methods) were used to identify cluster constituents along the lines illustrated in Figure 2 .

However, only those aged 85 or above also showed an increasing trend in the EHWS Index and IHD hospitalization in winter, implying the oldest old group was more sensitive to the fluctuation in daily temperature than the younger age groups.

We found that the association was marginally significant among ethnic Chinese and Vietnamese, aOR (95% CI) 1.03 (1.00–1.06) and 1.05 (1.00–1.10), respectively, but not among Koreans: 0.99 (0.95–1.03).

An increasing trend for all age groups was observed mainly up to 1992 in males, whereas in females the rates showed an increased trend in the whole time period.

showed highly significant associations between adult-onset atopic asthma among male farmers and agricultural uses of pesticides coumaphos (OR 2.34; 95% CI: 1.49–3.70), heptachlor (OR 2.01; 95% CI: 1.30–3.11), parathion (OR 2.05; 95% CI: 1.21–3.46), 80/20 mix (carbon tetrachloride/carbon disulfide) (OR 2.15; 95% CI: 1.23–3.76) and ethylene dibromide (OR 2.07; 95% CI: 1.02–4.20) [ 11 ].
