Excerpts

The degree of the change in activity behaviors may be significant for health.

Focusing on people living in undeveloped region might be significant.

Diabetes was also positively associated with overweight and obesity and higher level of education completed, but these associations did not quite achieve significance (Table 2 ). 54.0% (CI 41.6–65.9) of the diabetic population had previously tested for diabetes.

The prevalence of diabetes was 4.4% (CI 3.4–5.5), and associated with old age (OR 14.1, CI 6.05–32.65) and almost significantly with obesity (OR 2.1, CI 1.00–4.37).

In contrast, the ASIR was in a decreasing trend if the EAPC estimation and the upper boundary of its 95% CI were both < 0%; otherwise, the ASIR was deemed to be uncertain over time.

In the present study, the ASIR was deemed to be in an increasing trend if the EAPC and the lower boundary of its 95% CI were both > 0%.

One study conducted in Taiwan found that the presence of children under the age of 2 had highly significant effects on reducing the probability of smoking [ 12 ].

Since smoothing the data revealed a decreasing trend, four of the time-series models (Linear, Quadratic, Exponential and Autoregressive forecasting) were tested to find out which model best explained the trend.

As noted in the last column, this difference is highly significant.

Nationality and area of residence had a significant time interaction term but did not show a clear trend (Table S.3 a).

This conclusion confirms previous research that the increased population density increases the burden of TB [ 17 , 18 ].With the increase of such indicators, the registered incidence shows an increasing trend.

With the increase of the above two indicators, the registered incidence shows a decreasing trend.

For example, individuals who majored in social sciences and business (marginally significant) were associated with decreased substance use with age, compared to individuals in arts and humanities majors.

Conclusions The rate of hospitalization for violence-related injuries in Qatar is relatively low with a decreasing trend.

After adjustment for family structure, the social gradient flattened for smoking, whereas the reversed gradient for binge drinking appeared to be slightly accentuated and a lower cannabis use (with borderline significance) emerged for the most disadvantaged category.

However, no distinctive or highly significant association was observed for this category.

It does seem, however, that gender differences may vary based on disorder being addressed, as a gender difference was apparent for knowledge of depression, but not for knowledge of psychosis [ 12 ].

Moreover, the relevancy of internal consistency is quite significant and has been proved to be practical and effective by relevant research subsequently.

Between 2004 and 2014, the CHE rate decreased in Vietnam but China saw an increasing trend of CHE rate during a similar time span.

However, a study conducted in the US showed that although chemotherapy treatment was associated with a decline in caregivers’ involvement in their own daily routines, it was not a highly significant predictor [ 30 ].

The association between the birth order of children and the prevalence of undernutrition was highly significant.

Changes in the number of consultation items From January 30 to March 1, the number of consultation topics showed an increasing trend, which was the most significant in the first week, with 10 consultation topics that were recorded on the first day increasing to 116 on the 7th day.

Statistical significance was set at the 5% level with results at the 10% level deemed marginally significant.

Moreover, there was an increasing trend of the participants’ self-efficacy scores from before the lecture of the day of theory till after 4 weeks of practice.

Moreover, considering the high percentage of suboptimal infant feeding practices in those regions characterised by poor infrastructure, inaccessibility of health services, drought, and poverty the negative consequence of the suboptimal breastfeeding practice might be significant.
