In terms of the health economic loss per thousand people ( Figure 6 ), it fluctuated in different districts and counties and inter-annual variances were quite significant during the study period.

The public health effect of such micro-environmental elements might be significant, assuming that improvements to these elements could lead to an increased walking time per person per week.

For samples incubated at 22 °C, there was not a significant association (χ 2 = 1.730, p =0.084) at the 95% confidence level, however as it is approaching significance, this should be revaluated with more data.

By using flower diagrams, we also find out that on the temporal scale, almost all values have an increasing trend, mainly because prices have appreciated much in China from 2000 to 2010.

In contrast, among students with co-residing smokers, the associations between tobacco-related unpleasant experience and SHS at home were apparently weaker and either marginally significant or non-significant.

These variables were chosen a priori based on previous research and theory as likely to be significant in predicting costs [ 25 ].

However, the epidemic has showed an increasing trend since 2012.

They accounted for 58.32%, 28.62%, and 8.92% of all new infections in 2009, and 64.81%, 25.17%, and 6.54% in 2013, respectively, with an increasing trend in MSM and a decreasing trend in heterosexuals or IDUs ( Table 3 ) [ 2 , 3 , 4 ].

The composite was then dichotomized at its median value (11, out of an actual range of 3–12), to allow for comparison of those who showed a trend towards providing patient-centered mental health care and those who did not. 2.4.

A decreasing trend of adsorption capacity was also reported by Deliyanni et al.

The prevalences of 2 ≥3 CVD risk factors had an increasing trend with age but a decreasing trend with education level.

Algal bloom coverage showed a positive trend in the WC lake area ( Figure 3 ).

A clear trend toward a greater correlation of hypertension was noted as age increased.

The interaction term—showing that South African women differ from Mozambican women and all men—is highly significant and positive.

The use of the categories “makeup”, “eyemakeup”, Lip Products (“lip”) and Hairstyling products (“hair”) showed a trend toward decreasing frequency of use in the postpartum period.

However, our finding showed that the scarlet fever incidence demonstrated an increasing trend from 2005 (14.7) until 2007 (14.27), and then dropped in 2008 (10.15 cases/100,000 population).

study [ 22 ] reported that the incidence of scarlet fever showed a decreasing trend in Hong Kong from 2008 to 2010, whereas another study suggested that the incidence of scarlet fever had decreased prior to the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing [ 26 ].

In further analyses, we found a significant trend between BMI and the presence of hyperlipidemia in the univariate model, model I (adjusted age and gender), and model II (adjusted age, gender, region, district, ethnicity, education, marital status, main occupation, monthly family income per capita, smoking, drinking, exercise, central obesity, and waist and hip circumferences) (all p < 0.001).

The analysis in this study showed a marginally non-significant association between PaedsCTAS and child age.

The authors repeated an assessment one year later and showed a modestly significant increase of 1.6 min of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per day, which could indicate that a broader, longer intervention with more resources is needed.

In township hospitals, the number of practicing physicians showed an increasing trend between 2008 and 2013 (27.01% in Heilongjiang and 15.7% in Jiangsu), except in Qinghai province (only increased by 0.59%).

As expected, SLU displayed an increasing trend with the increase of soil Pb level for the same DOM treatment ( Figure 2 ). 3.5.

A highly significant negative association with exposure condition-quality and cellular responses was detected, showing that the more the quality criteria requirements were satisfied, the smaller the number of detected cellular responses.

There was a decreasing trend in the number of asthma-related hospitalizations across the study period.

There was an increasing trend in the number of hospitalizations in the same months during the 11-year study period, with an increase in February, followed by a peak in March, April, and May and a decreasing trend from June onwards for all study years, resulting in epidemic episodes in summer and autumn ( Figure 7 ). 5.
