Excerpts

Concerning the anthropometric parameters analyzed in this study, a highly significant correlation was found between BMI and neck circumference without significant gender differences.

(2) The annual UTCI average and annual frequency in the extreme thermal comfort level show an overall trend of high in the southeast and low in the northwest, and the annual frequency in the cold extreme comfort level shows an overall trend of low in the southeast and high in the northwest.

The annual frequency of extreme thermal comfort also showed a trend of high in the southeast and low in the northwest.

The UTCI average during the heat wave showed an obvious trend of higher in the southeast and lower in the northwest.

The estimated coefficient values for the density of scenic spots were relatively small and showed a trend of decreasing from northwest to southeast.

The estimated coefficient values of scenic spot density were smaller and showed a decreasing trend from north to south.

As far as the impulse response of lnSI to 1 unit of lnCOD is concerned, all values are positive and display an increasing trend except for during the first three periods, suggesting that COD discharge would impose a negative impact on industrial structure adjustment in the short term, although this effect could be reversed in the long term.

Owing to the different types of human activities occurring in buildings (including studying, working, entertainment, and catering), the spatial distributions of CO 2 emissions from different buildings within the same grid might be significant differences.

At baseline, at the first stage, stress was mainly driven by unprotected exposure to COVID-19 positive patients and lack of confidence in safety measures; compassion fatigue was nearly significant [ 23 ].

The National Health and Morbidity Surveys [ 2 , 3 , 4 ] showed an increasing trend of prevalence of diabetes mellitus from 11.6% in 2006, to 13.4% in 2015, to 18.3% in 2019.

The garden time spent was close to significance, which should be considered when discussing exposure-reduction strategies. 4.4.

Warm-related extreme weather events such as warm days and warm spell duration indices showed an increasing trend, whereas cold-related extreme weather events such as cold spell duration indices, cold nights, ice days, and frost days showed a decreasing trend.

p -values are highly significant at α = 0.01 for correlation and at α = 0.05 for correlation.

The results demonstrated that income quantiles (49.57%), SAH (80.91%), and sex ratio in the community (−102.29%) were highly significant when explaining the differences in inpatient utilization.

In fact, as China’s different ownership economies continue to develop, shifting from employed to self-employed migrant workers has become an important trend in recent years [ 14 ], especially since the Chinese government proposed the strategy of “mass entrepreneurship and innovation” in 2014.

In the remaining parameters, we did not notice a statistically significant improvement, however in all motor tasks, we noticed a positive trend in the group participating in the training program.

This study found that there is a clear trend towards better functional capacities with better parameters of body composition.

During the 11 years, the concentration of CO 2 increased obviously, while the concentration of CO showed a trend of first rising and then decreasing.

The results show that the annual average CO 2 concentration showed an increasing trend (growth rate: 1.90 ppm year −1 ), ranging from 389.80 to 410.43 ppm, and the annual average CO concentration also showed an increasing trend (growth rate: 1.78 ppb year −1 ), ranging from 136.30 to 189.82 ppb.

In summary, the five times sit-to-stand test indicated a significant improvement, whereas grip strength exhibited a significant trend toward improvement for robustness.

In this study, the surface–bottom soil pH showed a decreasing trend (from 9.05 to 8.54), which led to more Cr being adsorbed on the clay in a deeper position than on the surface.

HbA1c parameters [ p < 0.001, 95%CI: 0.04–0.11], total cholesterol [ p < 0.001, 95%CI: 2.39–5.00], LDL cholesterol [ p < 0.001, 95%CI: 2.61–4.84], weight [ p < 0.001, 95%CI: 0.54–0.65] and BMI [ p < 0.001, 95%CI: 0.17–0.24] show a significant trend towards a slight improvement.

Temperature had a negative impact on CAP as expected, and its impact intensity showed an increasing trend from the north to the south.

Consistent with previous studies, the proportion of patients with at least one symptom was as high as 60% at 6 months’ follow-up, and showed a decreasing trend over time [ 59 ].

However, single status was marginally significant but did not elicit much difference from the married status.
