Our finding of a decreasing trend of the past-year use of sedatives-hypnotics in young adult males was similar to those found in young adult males in European countries, e.g., people aged 18–25 years old in Finland from 2006 to 2014 [ 49 ], those aged 20–25 years old in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark from 2012 to 2018 [ 50 ], and those aged 20 to 29 years old in Norway from 2004 to 2019 [ 51 ].

With an increasing trend of sedative-hypnotic prescriptions in populations such as adults in the U.S. from 1996 to 2013 [ 7 ], adults in Canada from 2001 to 2016 [ 8 ], and children, adolescents, and young adults in Sweden from 2006 to 2013 [ 9 ], concerns are increasing regarding their associated adverse health effects, including dependence and abuse problems, fatal overdose, traffic accidents due to decreased motor coordination [ 10 , 11 ], falls and hip fractures among the elderly [ 12 ], and nonmedical use (NMU) [ 13 ].

The differences in self-rated health did not quite reach statistical significance but suggested that senior housing residents rated their health slightly better than community-dwelling older adults.

A clear trend was evident concerning education levels, where higher educational attainment positively correlated with increased KAP scores.

The positive association of TyG-obesity measures with ischemic stroke attenuated after sequential adjustment for potential mediating factors, aligning with findings from other studies on this attenuated trend [ 7 , 46 , 47 ], and in the fully adjusted models, the significant association between TyG-related indices and ischemic stroke disappeared in rural Chinese residents, with only TyG-BRI approaching significance and showing an approximately linear relationship.

An increasing trend was observed in the disease burden of CRC and PC.

explored the incidence and mortality of SC by sex groups, observing a decreasing trend for people aged 15–49 years using the GBD data resources [ 34 ].

Conclusion The study showed a decreasing trend in the incidence of transport injuries, but a steady mortality rate in the Volta Region.

The mortality showed an increasing trend with age, the period effect only showed a decreasing trend in China, and cohort effect showed a decreasing trend.

In the PSM-EB, we found a quasi-significant increased effect of being a beneficiary and the demand for testing in July and September, while a significant effect of being a beneficiary and the SARS-CoV-2 prevalence, compared to non-beneficiaries.

Moreover, we observed an increased count of performed SARS-CoV-2 tests and compliance with adherence to mild social isolation measures but a decreasing trend in adherence to moderate and strict isolation.

Although BMI exhibited an increasing trend over time in both groups, the mean value remained higher in the control group, with a slight positive correlation reported between BMI and CMMSE score [rmcorr r = 0.032, P < 0.001].

One quite significant cause may relate to the information deluge, particularly misinformation that was disseminated via mostly social media platforms during the pandemic, to which students without a medical condition are more susceptible compared with students with medical conditions.
