Most of the variables of disaster experience were highly significant, and after controlling the influence of other variables, the disaster-caused smallholder property and crop losses can significantly increase the likelihood of farmers to adjust agricultural production.

The difficulties in interpersonal relationships, academic pressure, social adaptation, employment prospect and other aspects make college students susceptible to various psychological and behavioral problems, and the severity has an increasing trend [ 70 ].

Our finding on the vertical distribution pattern of SOC density agrees with many previous studies showing that SOC distribution tends to exhibit a decreasing trend towards deeper soil layers [ 17 , 18 ].

Although there was an overall trend of risk decrease, prevalence in several districts presented an increased trend, such as Rasuwa (11.1%, 12.1% and 18.9% in 2006, 2011 and 2016 respectively) in Central Region and Achham (6.9%, 18.2% and 20.5% in 2006, 2011 and 2016 respectively) in the Far-western Region of Nepal.

The release center of Zn showed a trend of shifting from south to north, which was mainly due to the gradual exploitation of Zn resources from the south to the north and environmental policy [ 21 , 32 ]. 3.2.

The P- value for the overall model was 0.0044, which demonstrated that the quadratic equation model was highly significant [ 30 ].

Discussion This risk assessment found that some e-cigarettes may be significant sources of metal exposures, capable of increasing the risk of cancer and non-cancer respiratory and CNS health effects.

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 ].

Higher educational attainment among mothers was associated with greater involvement in active housework by spouses, and the association between mothers working full-time and spouses’ active housework also approached significance.

Finally, the residential energy consumption per capita is presented in Figure 3 b and it shows that Germany has the highest value but is characterized by a decreasing trend.

The second country in terms of consumption per capita is Italy which shows an increasing trend up to 2010 and then a decrease.

The important finding is that the areas in southern China with low incidences of HB, such as Hubei, Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guangdong, show an increasing trend, which is consistent with the conclusions of multiple studies [ 14 , 42 , 43 ].

At the same time, with the increase of the adsorbent, the adsorption capacity showed a trend of first increase and then decrease.

The heart rate reduction was close to the level of significance, but a statistically significant difference was not shown ( p = 0.059).

This finding was similar to the present study performed in Taiwan, in which the incidence of PSVT was 24.83/100,000 person-years in 2001, and a decreasing trend was observed from 2001 to 2012.
