4 , further indicate that the Moran’s I, index of spatial autocorrelation is positive 0.36 with a highly significant z-score of 7.3.

There appeared to be a clear trend in risk scores differentiating between those ‘chronically at risk’ and those ‘never at risk’.

Additionally, a positive trend was identified between the mixture and MUI when it was in the 40th to 55th percentile.

Although recent data suggested a decreasing trend in the prevalence of alcohol consumption in both sexes at age 15, it also implied an increase in 16-year-old female adolescents [ 37 ], emphasizing the urgent need to address this major cause of death and disability in adolescents, especially if associated with driving behaviors.

Using three modalities is significantly associated with a 2.9-times increase in the odds of having a higher level of AHS utilization while using two modalities is associated with a 2.2-times increase in the odds of having a higher level of AHS utilization (but only marginally significant).

As for the Ovarian cancer, there is an increasing trend from 2005 to 2011 followed with a mild decrease in incidence until 2016 and a sudden increase afterwards.

In our study in cancers related to women, Cervix uteri showed a decreasing trend from 2005 to 2017 with a mild increase from then to 2020.

In the recent 5 years, the number of SFTS cases in each districted city showed an increasing trend year by year (Fig. 4 ).
