Whilst we observed a negative trend between VO 2 max and age this relationship was not strong.
The hospitals with a better starting point (higher number of patients within target time) see a negative trend after the policy change.
The proportion of fixed assets investment also has a non-linear effect, in the form of a convex curve; however, it shows a negative trend with respect to economic development, and the curve is relatively flat.
7 Although occurring at different stages in the life, pregnant women and preschool age children have been found to be at greatest risk of developing anaemia, 1 with children aged <5 years found to be the only age group with a negative trend from 1990 to 2010. 7 WHO estimates of 2011 suggested that about 273 million children and 42 million pregnant women had anaemia worldwide. 6 According to data from the World Bank, the global prevalence of anaemia in children below 5 years reduced steadily from 41.5% in 1990 and then remained steady
To the right of the threshold, although a negative trend was observed between serum uric acid levels and femoral neck BMD, it did not reach statistical significance ( β = −0.000, 95% CI : −0.002 to 0.000, P = 0.117) ( Table 4 ).
The sirtuin 1-activity model in Table 2 demonstrates that the number of pulses and the ratio of green tea to water had a significant effect on sirtuin 1-activity (p < 0.05), while the effect was observed to have a negative trend.
Stratification by 5 years of birth revealed a significant increase in the average BMI in both male and female subjects (from 1976 to 1980), accompanied by trends of increasing prevalence of both obesity (both genders) and overweight (only males), and by a negative trend in the prevalence of normal BMI (both genders).
Also, the 90% regression line exhibits a negative trend, whereas the 50% and 10% regression lines show a weak trend.
They identified the sign in 228 of 808 patients (28.2%) who completed bronchoprovocation test (BPT), about 196 (86%) of patients had negative-BPT indicating that patients with the sign maybe have a negative trend prevalence of airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR).
Conclusions This work supports a negative trend for sperm motility and morphology in the infertile population of the south of Europe, during the last two decades.
In contrast, additional characteristics without statistical significance showed a negative trend.
The average latitude of jellyfish observations showed a negative trend with a decrease of 0.091 degrees per year ( S2 Fig ).
Furthermore, soil salinity was strongly positively correlated with biostimulant effectiveness, and there was a negative trend between soil organic matter (SOM) and response after biostimulant application.
Average time to DCL remained consistent throughout the study period while the average time to post-DCL CT demonstrated a negative trend as indicated by linear-regression (from ~500 min to ~250 min, approximately; Figure 5 ).
Low elevated buildings had a non-linear impact in PfPR 2_10 , where a negative trend is exhibited up to 40% and then the relationship became positive.

They find a negative trend of −0.05 mm · yr − not in line with recent freshwater import from continents such as observed ice sheet mass loss and mountain glaciers melting.
Conversely, the use of IM is expected to decline to 11.2%, following a negative trend of −1.96% per year.
During the last 30 years, the North American Breeding Bird Survey has estimated a negative trend for the western burrowing owl population for Canada and the USA.
Four metrics ( SCC , SCC RY , SCC SW , and GS ) indicate changes toward higher complexity in more evolved clades (long-branch distance with respect to the root of the tree), while SCC KM does not show any signs of a trend and BB shows a negative trend.

24 Clinical trials revealed that point estimates correspond to a benefit of alteplase treatment within the range of 35.5 °C to 37.5 °C but showed a negative trend >37.5 °C.
In addition, we expected positive trends in BOLD response magnitude with f in the LGd and SCs, and a negative trend in VISp.
However, a negative trend was observed between the levels of AhR agonistic activity and the presence of cardiomyopathy ( Figure 6B ).
