“borderline significant”

53 In general populations, low-fat diets substituting fat for carbohydrate reduced HDL cholesterol (overall range: −0.01 to −0.09 mmol/L), 45–48 and the relationship was significant 46–48 or borderline significant. 45 Increasing MUFA to replace saturated fat was significantly associated with lower HDL cholesterol (mean: −0.002 mmol/L). 23 One study identified a statistically significant relationship between PUFA replacing saturated fat and lower HDL cholesterol (mean:−0.005 mmol/L), 23 whereas three reported non-significant findings. 39 40 54 Two studies of PUFA replacing other dietary energy in populations with diabetes report different direction of effects for HDL 41 52 and both were statistically significant.

Multiplicative interaction tests between mobile phone exposure and blood lead in association with ADHD symptoms were significant or borderline significant for the variables of ownership, age at first ownership of a mobile phone, and the number of outgoing calls per day, and the risk of ADHD symptoms was higher in the high lead group than that in the low lead group.

Sex-specific analysis showed no significant association in men (RR = 1.05, 95% CI: 0.91–1.19), whereas a borderline significant association was observed in women (RR = 1.18, 95% CI: 1.00–1.36).

P < 0.05 was considered significant, and P ≥ 0.05 but P < 0.10 was considered borderline significant, and these values were subjected to multivariate analysis. 21 Statistical analysis was performed using JMP Pro version 9.02 (SAS Institute, Inc, Cary, NC).

found a borderline significant association between rs619586 in MALAT1 and decreased hepatocellular carcinoma risk [ 45 ].

People using food labels information were slightly younger, an observation significant in univariate analysis and borderline significant in multivariable.

We found a borderline significant decline in the number of repetitions of the 30 s CST from T1 to T2, while at T3 patients improved compared to preoperative and T2 values.

This observation was further strengthened by the statistically significant interaction between TILs (5% increment) and BMI found only for RFS (borderline significant for DFS), but not for DDFS.

In contrast to memory, worse processing speed in individuals with albuminuria was only borderline significant in the base model, and largely explained by cardiometabolic factors (model 2 proportion mediated: 31%) and lifestyle/other risk factors (model 3 proportion mediated: 47%).

Likewise, the association with the time from thelarche to establishment of regular periods remained significant after controlling for age at thelarche ( p trend = 0.035) or became borderline significant after controlling for age at the establishment of regular cycles ( p trend = 0.060) or for total breast area ( p trend = 0.048) (not shown).

In terms of CVD death, the results from the REDUCE-IT [ 40 ], ASCEND [ 24 ], and GISSI-P [ 40 ] trials, which accounted for 31.4% of the sample size, were only borderline significant, with RRs and 95% CIs of 0.82 (0.67–0.99), 0.82 (0.67–0.99), and 0.84 (0.72–0.97), respectively ( Figure A2 and Figure A4 ).

−0.3 (0.9); p = 0.035], and borderline significant for the My A:Care-All group vs.

There was a borderline significant association between vitamin C intake and total mortality (HR=0.84; 95% CI=0.71–1.00; P trend =0.08).

Except for a borderline significant effect for women who exercised 2–4 hours a day, this variable was not associated with an increased risk for SCC when controlling for other variables in the model.

Furthermore, the increased risk of MI was more pronounced among younger subjects (≤55 years old) carrying haplotype rs7069102G-rs3818292A-rs4746720T, although it was only borderline significant (OR = 1.81, 95% CI = 1.12–2.93, P c = 0.056, Table 5 ).

For example, valine was borderline significant in PreT2D vs.

On MVA, tMTV remained a borderline significant prognosticator for OS.

Statistical significance was set at a level of 0.05, p -values between 0.05 and 0.10 were considered borderline significant. 3.

However, both subgroups only reached borderline significant ( P values for interaction = .062 and .084, respectively).

With additional adjustment for factors that were considered to be either confounders or mediators of the association including BMI and diabetes status at baseline, the associations of more frequent bowel movements with stroke (HR: 1.10; 95% CI: 1.00, 1.22; P for trend = 0.03) became borderline significant, whereas the association with CVD (HR: 1.05; 95% CI: 0.98, 1.13; P for trend = 0.04) and CHD (HR: 1.00; 95% CI: 0.90, 1.10; P for trend = 0.57) were no longer significant.

However, the number of patients with serum vitamin D deficiency were greater in the early AMD group than in the normal control group, although the difference was only borderline significant.

We found that supplementation with 300 mg per day of Rx Balance BioResponse DIM for 4–6 weeks resulted in a borderline significant 34% increase in BRCA1 mRNA expression in lymphocytes from women with a BRCA1 mutation.

In every comparison, significant, or borderline significant relationships were demonstrated. 3.4.

Our study demonstrated that there was no statistically significant difference in the number of key features in NSRs compared to SRs, but the difference between them was borderline significant.

What should not be done? However, given that “statistical significance” is so frequently misreported and misinterpreted, there seems to be a consensus that terms such as ‘significant’, ‘statistically significant’, ‘borderline significant’, and their negative expressions, should not be reported anymore.
