Over the last few decades, the prevalence of smoking has decreased, while an increasing trend in overweight and obesity at a younger age has been observed across many countries and regions [ 24 ].

Collaboration between Stakeholders We observed a clear trend in our results, suggesting that stakeholders on a higher level (i.e., activators) had a much more positive perception towards the quality of collaborations compared to intermediaries, which in turn were more positive than care organisations, the more local level of stakeholders considered in our study.

Notwithstanding, there is also a notable trend in the deceleration of globalization and an increase in protectionism [ 74 ], which raises barriers to collaboration in big data analytics for disease prevention.

A high value of Kendall’s tau suggests a strong trend.

Such a clear trend of age-related variations may contribute to the reduction of sexual dimorphism in the elderly.

The presence of a barely significant correlation between monthly anomalies of KD onset and easterly wind event frequencies might instead be connected to the fact that these last wind regimes are more typical of months when the KD onset is less likely to occur (specifically January, April, and July).

Although the confidence interval for this value indicates a great variability in the data, this could indicate a possible trend [ 48 ].

For example, perceived behavioural control proved to be an insignificant predictor of behavioural intention in Turkey and Jordan, yet highly significant in Poland.

There is an observed trend for the mean scores for all three scales to decrease with a shift from a younger age bracket to an older age bracket.

There were some marginally significant increases for some metals and 3-PBA for ASD; however further studies are warranted in order to make any definitive association.

For other metabolites concentration level (acetic, malic acid and TRP) we observe a decreasing trend after the treatment with rifaximin, although the statistical significance is not reached.

There was a strong trend of decreasing arsenic concentrations in more recent studies, which may reflect changes in contamination levels, analytical methods, or study locations.

The results emerged showed an increasing trend in the number of total records.

Similarly, few statistically significant differences in diagnostic accuracy were observed between countries when taking Austria as the reference with only Denmark ( p = 0.029) and Italy ( p = 0.024) being marginally statistically significant in some comparisons ( Table S6 ). 4.

In model 1, the control variables, GDP per capita, and whether the location was a pilot city, had highly significant effects on the establishment of the first CDW recycling plant.

In addition, we did not find a clear trend between exposure time in night work and PCa risk, in line with previous studies [ 26 , 28 , 29 ].

The migration rate is highly significant and positively correlated with the likelihood of child migration as expected.

An increasing trend was found in the prevalence of overweight and obesity and a decreasing trend for stunting, underweight, and wasting.

In the fully adjusted Cox–PH analysis, only the untreated hypercholesterolemia group showed a marginally significant risk of CCVDs and related deaths in Table S2 and a highly significant risk in Table S3 .

However, these events show a decreasing trend in this region over the last six decades.

With increasing clay content, the permeability coefficient showed a decreasing trend with the order of P5>P2>P1>P4>P3.

Although the differences did not reach statistical significance, there was a clear trend toward reduced TNF-α levels and increased IL-10 levels.
