Globally, there is an increasing trend in the number of tests conducted in the post-pandemic period and, consequently, in the number of people who know their serological status [ 117 ].

In Portugal, the number of new cases across different age groups has generally shown a decreasing trend over the past decade.

Regarding self-tests however, there was a positive trend (1,225 tests in 2019; 3,107 tests in 2020; 3,801 tests in 2021 and 4,254 in 2022 [ 48 ].

According to the ARIMA model results, infant mortality rates in Ghana are on a decreasing trend from 2023 and 2030.

At the same time, we observed an increasing trend of HPV vaccination willingness from 2010 onwards.

Overall, a significant trend was observed across OSA groups, indicating that higher OSA severity was associated with increased odds of self-reported previous non-traumatic fractures (P for trend < 0.001).

Among them, the incidence of HFMD showed an increasing trend from 2005 to 2010.

Snack frequency was the only significant moderator ( p = 0.048); however, its borderline significance suggests the effect may be limited.

Statistical significance was set at α = 0.05 (two-tailed); p < 0.05 was considered significant and p < 0.01 highly significant.

For this second group, the analysis indicated a strong and statistically significant negative correlation ( r = −1; p-value = 0.0167), suggesting a decreasing trend in the DALY versus funding relationship (Fig. 2 b).

Conclusions Our data show that there are important differences between substances involved in AATDs across groups of people and geographic areas as well as an increasing trend in AATDs.

SO 2 at a 7-day lag exhibits a positive effect on influenza, although this effect shows a decreasing trend over the examined concentration range (Fig. 4 d).

This interaction showed borderline significance ( P for interaction = 0.059).

This finding indicated a clear trend toward earlier pubertal timing, which was consistent with current research.

Until recent 15 to 20 years, some studies have reported a slight trend towards earlier puberty in boys, with a 3-month decline between 1991 and 2008, coinciding with increased luteinizing hormone levels [ 55 ].

For HHD, the negative correlation was weaker than for IHD; although there was an overall trend of decreasing DALY rates with increasing SDI, some high SDI regions maintained relatively high DALY rates Analysis of age composition proportion in 21 regions Figure 5 shows the proportion of prevalence, Deaths, and DALYs in across various age cohorts for IHD and HHD in 21 global regions in 1990 and 2021.

Regarding self-reported frequency of depressive symptoms, there was an increasing trend in participants reporting “never” having depressive feelings over the survey years (Fig. 5 ).

While the observed associations were statistically highly significant, the effect sizes were modest (e.g., β ≈ − 0.7 between the highest and lowest exposure groups).

(3) Accommodation and catering industry GDP and east-west wind speed exhibited marginally significant associations, highlighting the potential synergistic risks posed by economic factors and extreme weather under climate change. ​Conclusion This study uncovers the asymmetric drivers of seasonal FBD patterns in a coastal city, providing crucial scientific evidence for refining seasonal prevention and control strategies against FBD in coastal city settings amidst global climate change.

Nevertheless, the large and highly significant AME suggests that population density is a strong predictor of concentrated summer outbreaks, likely through increased human contact and transmission opportunities.

Overall, the accuracy showed a decreasing trend as the recall rate increases.

There was a notable decline attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic, dropping to 204 cases in 2020 (3.54%, 77.89/100,000), followed by an increasing trend leading to a peak of 1028 cases in 2023 (17.85%, 285.21/100,000).

The rise in congenital syphilis cases from 2020 to 2024 has been quite significant, with an 81.8% increase [ 4 ].

The prevalence of FLD among CHB patients has shown an increasing trend over time.

However, the direct effect of chronotype on mental health was not statistically significant, showing only a trend toward significance.
