Recovery below 10% showed a trend toward increased readmission risk, although it did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.095).

Following the combined intervention, gut microbial diversity and community structure displayed a clear trend toward recovery to a normal state, suggesting that B. lactis Ca360 helps restore the disrupted intestinal ecological balance under iron-deficient conditions [ 59 ].

Based on two studies (n = 85), omega-3 fatty-acid supplementation was associated with a lower risk of organ failure, and supplementation also showed a trend toward reducing the risk of infectious complications [ 24 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. 3.7.

Both iAUC 0–120 and iAUC 0–240 showed highly significant negative correlations with eating duration, as well as significant positive correlations with chewing frequency.

Although the increase in the proportion of meals fully consumed (Δ = +4.01) did not reach statistical significance (Z = −0.778; p = 0.436; r = −0.13), a clear trend toward reducing the amount of plate waste was observed ( Table 3 ).

The association between the level of implementation of planned actions and the reduction in food waste was not statistically significant, although a positive trend in this relationship was observed.

With respect to the SMI, while no statistically significant difference was found, a medium negative effect size was observed (RBC = −0.333; p = 0.268), which suggests a decreasing trend ( Table 4 ).

Group C exhibited an increasing trend in TNF-α levels compared with group B and groups L, M, and H.

The expression level of COX-2 tended to be higher in groups C and L than in group B, whereas groups M and H exhibited a decreasing trend in COX-2 expression compared to group C ( Figure 10 ). 3.9.

Although Bulgaria is still in the early stages of integrating AI and machine learning (ML) into parenteral nutrition, existing research and current initiatives indicate a positive trend toward further development in this field.

AFP also reduced serum endotoxin levels and showed a trend towards upregulating intestinal ABCG2 mRNA expression, though this did not reach statistical significance ( p > 0.05).

A nominal between-group difference was detected between healthy controls and the high MSSS group ( p = 0.024; adj p = 0.144, Figure 2 C), indicating a possible trend toward altered microbial composition with greater disease severity.

In contrast, individuals with severe MS showed a trend toward reduced richness, suggesting a possible link between microbial loss and advanced neurologic impairment.

Our results also indicated a positive trend in body self-perception associated with increasing age.

Compared with the Syn-L group, the Syn-M treatment significantly increased BMD, BV/TV, and Tb.Th, whereas Tb.N showed an increasing trend without reaching statistical significance.

The study showed a trend toward reduced cognitive decline, although results did not reach statistical significance.

A favorable trend was observed among girls, where the percentage of excessive body weight decreased by 13.6% (from 19.9% to 6.3%).

GB102 showed a trend toward reduction in HFD-induced leptin levels, although this effect did not reach statistical significance.

Conversely, acylcarnitines in plasma and urine showed a trend toward increased concentrations in the periovulatory phase, suggesting enhanced fatty acid transport and β-oxidation around ovulation.

ATX treatment showed a trend toward lowering TNF-α, but the difference was not statistically significant ( p > 0.05). 4.

Among the evaluated continuous variables, the only nominally significant finding in the unadjusted analysis was an inverse correlation between Mn concentration and BMI.

In the multivariate model, female sex and moderate IA remained significant predictors of increased ED risk, whereas being a university student—as compared to a high school student—was marginally non-significant.

Statistical comparisons across the four persistence categories revealed highly significant differences in all the examined parameters.

Hydration-related parameters exhibited small variations, and phase angle showed an increasing trend.

The p values, derived from the analysis of variance, were highly significant for the group comprising LIF, FRU and VEG, while the p values were only close to significant for the group comprising HAF, THI and INF.
