Limited information was obtained about puberty status from the participants, there might be significant hormonal changes that could impact body size and might be related to mode of delivery over the age range of 10–15 years.
Excerpts
Participants in the top quartile of RTL had an odds ratio (OR) for hearing loss of 0.53 (95% CI, 0.38–0.74) compared to those in the bottom quartile with a significant trend across the quartiles ( P for trend = 0.002).
Another study found a similar correlation with near significance [ 23 ], and reported that patients with high BMI, which is associated with improved bone density, had higher volume distribution in the Kt/V calculation, thus a lower Kt/V level.
This local risk signature may be significant for assessing and mitigating risk in the future.
Although the complete elimination of caries disparities seems difficult [ 16 ], all these studies showed a trend toward a reduction in disparities through the use of CWF.
VEGF also showed a trend for negative correlation with the planning subscale of the Suicide Intent Scale.
The beneficial impact of an adequate diagnosis of contact allergy—in this case, to MI—is illustrated by a study evaluating the QoL before diagnosis and at 3-months follow-up after diagnosis of MI contact allergy, finding a highly significant improvement [ 115 ].
Moreover, even when a HLA-type matched potential HSC donor is found, the average consent rate for actual donation has been around 58.1% for the past 20 years, showing a decreasing trend in the last three years (2012–2014), from 55.1% to 54.0% and to 51.0% [ 4 ].
However, the highly significant decrease in the amount of PA in the control group can be explained by the NHMS 2015 [ 8 ], where it was reported that PA prevalence dropped from 72.3% for the 50–54 age group to 63.3% for the 55–59 age group.
Moreover, based on the mean score trend of the PALMS-M motives, the experimental group showed an increasing trend, while the control group showed a decreasing trend throughout the trial period.
This was a promising start with the numbers still on an increasing trend.
Over the past 60 years, increased precipitation in late spring/early summer in northeast China is consistent with an increasing trend of northeast cold vortex frequency [ 37 ].
It shows highly significant ORs for three indicators of high psychosocial job demands; that is, “stressful—no time to think,” “much work—miss lunch,” and “far too much to do.” Significant ORs were also noted for all indicators of low job control such as “determine work pace” and “influence.” Similarly, little or no support from supervisors and from colleagues was associated with presenteeism.
This effect was rather weak and just marginally significant; however, it may indicate that the role of support is diverse.
The cell size showed an increasing trend with the increase of pH. 3.1.2.
A global collaboration on non-communicable disease (NCD) analyzed 1479 population-based studies from 1975 to 2015 and revealed that the global prevalence of HTN was in a decreasing trend over the decades, especially in high-income economies [ 5 ].
However, in mine locations like that of Abbadia, particulate Hg may be significant due the presence of mine waste next to the town center, where particulate Hg can be rapidly dispersed by local winds to the surroundings.
Furthermore, a depth to water and topographic correlation significance level of 1.6 × 10 −23 suggest the correlation is highly significant.
The results showed that there were 78 RPHPDs (regional PM 2.5 pollution days) in Jiangsu, with a decreasing trend year by year.
It can be seen from the figure that annual runoff in the WRB shows a decreasing trend, while annual evaporation and temperature show a slightly rising trend.
Correlation analysis between BMI, peak and average plantar pressure in the static condition found only a moderately significant correlation in the weightlifting group for the non-dominant limb.
On the other hand, the actual intervention (columns 2 and 4) was highly significant in predicting the reduction of diarrhoea.
The latter would serve to corroborate the near significance of “no-shows for scheduled clinic visit” in this study.
The linear fitting of the trend of glacier deformation shown in Figure 9 shows that the overall glacier deformation in the study region exhibited a decreasing trend from 2017 to 2018.
After the start-up stage, the removal efficiencies of NO 3 - –N in all of the reactors showed a trend of first stabilization, then decrease, increase, and then finally re-stabilization.
