Interestingly, the incidence pattern reported in Italy was observed in many countries with a high or very high human development index (HDI), namely Australia, Canada, Russia, the United States and Europe (Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden and United Kingdom), although in the United States the incidence has begun to show signs of a decreasing trend among females since 2010 ( 16 ).

Conclusions The number of rare diseases showing an increasing trend in annual cumulative incidence was higher than the number of diseases showing a decreasing trend in annual cumulative incidence.

Although mortality rates for BC in Argentina have followed a decreasing trend since 1997 [ 8 ] (p.31), it still occupies the second highest in South America after Uruguay.

In addition, the expression of Runx2 in high-fat, high-glucose, and high-fat and high-glucose groups was weaker than that in the control group, but the expression of TAZ only showed a decreasing trend in the high-fat and high-glucose group during bone regeneration.

Conclusion: Although India has shown a decreasing trend in premature mortality because of NCDs in the past decade, the rate of decrease is not on par to achieve the global “25 × 25” target.

In addition, Nakayama et al have found that a decreasing trend in SA level in patients with heart failure was correlated with a worse long-term prognosis, and that change of SA levels was also associated with changes in cachectic factors.

Other carbon pools did not change significantly with increasing stand age ( P > 0.05), although they presented a decreasing trend.

In the root tissue, the levels of most mineral elements exhibited a decreasing trend as the pH increased, with the exception of Cu, Na, and Mg, and the trend curves of the mineral elements were similar for the Cj and Pt.

A negative slope was defined as one in which the APC was significantly negative, conferring a decreasing trend.

In contrast, there is a decreasing trend of radioiodine therapy in the United States and Europe, which may be related to reports of higher rates of radiation-induced malignancies after radioiodine treatment[ 23 ].

Post graft Cho concentration in the lesion showed a continuing trend for reduction, which reached statistical significance at 6 months (1.62 ± 0.51 to 1.09 ± 0.78 mM, p < 0.01), while contralesional measurements revealed a decreasing trend between 1 and 3 months (1.77 ± 0.31 to 1.58 ± 0.49 mM, p = NS) that stabilized through 6 months (1.58 ± 0.44 mM).
