There was an increasing trend over time in all the MPP measurements and foot zones studied, with a significant increase in the midfoot zone (m1: 387 kPa; m2: 450 kPa; m3: 590 kPa; p = 0.027; Table 1 ).

In our analysis, we found an increasing trend of tuberculosis as OD.

[ 5 ] also demonstrated that precipitation exhibited a decreasing trend in the Luan River, Hutuo River (a tributary of Ziya River), and Zhang River basins; however, only precipitation in the Hutuo River Basin reached a confidence level of 95%, with the changing trend not significant in the other two basins.

<0.01, then the difference is extremely significant.

The data show that there has been a clear trend towards increased use of CS over this period, a finding that echoes those of other studies conducted in Spain [ 8 , 14 ] and is aligned with worldwide trends, although the rate recorded is lower than the Spanish national average and that of other European countries [ 13 , 16 ].

From the Figure, concentrations of Cd in honey show a decreasing trend while moving away from the source of pollution, while Cu concentrations are increasing ( Figure 2 ).

The results obtained suggest that from a perspective of motor performance, the ESA activity does not produce highly significant effects.

However, compared with S0 and S1, all tested (S2–S4) soil enzyme activity was almost significant increased during different strategies were applied to remediate PHs contaminated soils ( Table S3 ).

In addition, usage of any of the six types of statins all showed a decreasing trend for HR of sarcopenia incidence when compared to those who were not using statins.

Therefore, the gravity centers of positive and negative LVI change rates showed a trend from the southeast coast to the northwest inland, but the exact location of the positive LVI change rate was located to the north of the negative LVI change rate.

In another occupational study, a positive trend based on exposure-response was observed for pancreatic and prostate cancer, although these did not reach statistical significance [ 35 ].

Though, emotional demands assessed with the COSPOQ were only marginally significant.

The density of the sampling areas varied in number and location along time with an increasing trend over time ( Table 1 ).

The average left eye visual acuity in the three assessments reached a significant level ( p < 0.05), demonstrating an increasing trend first, followed by a decreasing trend.

It can be observed that the sum of the length of different service areas generated by our C-VD and the general N-VD shows a decreasing trend for an increasing bandwidth.

In the condition that all factors including air pollution level are kept constant at their average, the average NPC incidence is 32 (≈(e 3.6453 + e 3.2523 )/2) per 100,000 population nationwide, and the average annual NPC incidence growth rate is approximately 42% (≈(1.0688 − 0.2203)/2) nationwide, indicating an increasing trend in NPC incidence over time. 3.3.

Similarly, the health effects of SO 2 in the current period are positively associated with both NPC incidence and its growth rate, but not quite statistically significant like NO 2 .

Blood Indicators Compared with the control group, both lipid metabolic indicators (i.e., CHO, HDL-c, and LDL-c) and blood glucose metabolic indicators (i.e., GLU and INS) exhibited a decreasing trend in the intervention group after 8 weeks of intervention.

Given that the results in graphesthesia show marginally significant differences, it might be interesting to conduct the study with a larger sample.

Globally across all SDI categories, there was a decreasing trend in mortality due to PIs with the global estimated percentage reduction of 37.12% (−45.19 to −29.04).

Globally, there is an increasing trend starting from the age of 10 to 14 years.

Summary of Crude Estimates of Severe Malaria Case Fatality Rate in Children under Five There was a decreasing trend in mCFR between 2013 and 2018.

Nearly 50% of NHB respondents started out in the “Very High” or “High” %NHB neighborhood classes, and there was a clear trend towards living in more integrated neighborhoods as they got older.

Data also showed a trend towards an increased toenail concentration of Ni in children living in the exposed area compared to those in the control area.

A survey on the physique and health of Chinese students showed that during the nearly 30 years from 1985 to 2014, the prevalence of overweight and obesity among Chinese students aged 7 to 18 years showed a trend of steady increase, from 1.4% to 12.1%, 0.1% to 7.3%, respectively [ 2 ].
