It shows that it is not possible to fit a horizontal line between bands of the first two graphs, indicating evidence of a decreasing trend in government trust (Figure 1 , Table 2 ).

Logistic regression models (Table 2 ) show that compared to never smokers, the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of reporting high to very high levels of psychological distress was significantly greater for current smokers (model 4: OR: 1.45; 95% CI: 1.24-1.69); and marginally significant for ex-smokers (aOR: 1.18; 95% CI: 1.00-1.39).

Low income, which was associated with exposure to both types of domestic violence, was close to the level of significance, as was living in an intimate partnership, which reduced the risk of psychological violence and physically violent behaviour.

These comparisons were both highly significant using independent t-tests.

Increase in male and female mortality rates, relative to the year of establishment of free ART public policies, varied from 12% to 39% among countries with an increasing trend, and declined by 15% to 54% for those with a decreasing trend.

During the study period, the mortality rates for most cause-specific injuries showed a decreasing trend, while the mortality rate for RTI increased from 1.35 per 100,000 in 1984 to 4.63 per 100,000 in 2008.

Results for the scale scores of home life and financial pressure and the ASQ summary score were borderline significant.

An increasing trend in prevalence of overweight with age was observed in previous studies and it was significantly more pronounced in the present study [Figure 4 (b) ].

Patients with Medicaid coverage were still less likely to receive aspirin (0.92, 0.87-0.98) and, with borderline significance, optimal therapy (0.94, 0.88-1.00), compared to patients without Medicaid coverage.

An increasing trend with age was observed in prevalence of stunting and thinness.

For each of the most common ICF categories the differences in occurrence between the ICD chapters 'Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue' and 'Mental and behavioural disorders' were highly significant.

Factor with intrinsic and extrinsic job satisfaction in two cities Demography characteristics and job satisfaction There seems not to be a clear trend between educational level and job satisfaction.

Iron deficiency was also related to maternal education, although the differences were only marginally significant.

In participants with diabetes, those with middle or low functioning had a borderline significant longer duration of diabetes.

The majority of theses association were significant, with the remainder marginally significant.

15.8%), the HR was marginally significant and had a smaller PAR for all-cause mortality (11.6% vs. 18.6%).

The rate was significantly higher in truck drivers and showed an increasing trend with age (Table 2 ).

There was also a marginally significant association between willingness to get tested at the MSHRC and having lent or borrowed syringes to/from others in the past six months (OR = 2.36; 95%CI: 0.94 - 5.90).

These data suggest that FSWs' non-commercial partners may be significant drivers of HIV/STI acquisition.

The association with BMI was of borderline significance, with obese individuals tending to have lower MeDi adherence.

Our findings show that an increasing trend is observed in both LFT parameters and autoimmune markers with increasing urinary arsenic concentration.

This relationship approached significance among the most acculturated (OR highest acculturation = 1.12; 95% CI: 1.00–1.23) group as well.
