However, several correlations involving xerostomia severity and intake timing or volume approached significance, suggesting potential underlying patterns.

Eating alone showed a trend towards a higher prevalence of depressive symptoms; however, the association did not reach statistical significance (aPR = 1.37; 95% CI: 0.97–1.95; p = 0.077) (see Table 4 ).

A decreasing trend in serum MCP-1 was observed in both groups, regardless of the type of breakfast consumed. 3.3.

Behaviorally, BCBL-treated mice showed a trend toward better performance in memory tests (Y-maze and novel object recognition).

Regarding the reduction in the number of awakenings, the diazepam group showed a statistically significant difference compared to the model group, whereas the high-dose BCBL group exhibited a decreasing trend that did not reach statistical significance.

Kaempferol showed a decreasing trend at concentrations above 10 μM ( Figure 2 A).

Despite the small sample size and the short supplementation time, significant and near-significant changes in several POMS scale were noted [ 86 ].

A marginal trend for higher non-refined cereal and lower red meat intake was also apparent.

As for the sex-stratified trends, an approximately decreasing trend was discovered in males, with small- scale fluctuations, whereas an increasing trend was observed in females.

Based on two studies (n = 85), omega-3 fatty-acid supplementation was associated with a lower risk of organ failure, and supplementation also showed a trend toward reducing the risk of infectious complications [ 24 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. 3.7.

Both iAUC 0–120 and iAUC 0–240 showed highly significant negative correlations with eating duration, as well as significant positive correlations with chewing frequency.

Although the increase in the proportion of meals fully consumed (Δ = +4.01) did not reach statistical significance (Z = −0.778; p = 0.436; r = −0.13), a clear trend toward reducing the amount of plate waste was observed ( Table 3 ).

The association between the level of implementation of planned actions and the reduction in food waste was not statistically significant, although a positive trend in this relationship was observed.

With respect to the SMI, while no statistically significant difference was found, a medium negative effect size was observed (RBC = −0.333; p = 0.268), which suggests a decreasing trend ( Table 4 ).

A nominal between-group difference was detected between healthy controls and the high MSSS group ( p = 0.024; adj p = 0.144, Figure 2 C), indicating a possible trend toward altered microbial composition with greater disease severity.

In contrast, individuals with severe MS showed a trend toward reduced richness, suggesting a possible link between microbial loss and advanced neurologic impairment.

Our results also indicated a positive trend in body self-perception associated with increasing age.

Compared with the Syn-L group, the Syn-M treatment significantly increased BMD, BV/TV, and Tb.Th, whereas Tb.N showed an increasing trend without reaching statistical significance.

The study showed a trend toward reduced cognitive decline, although results did not reach statistical significance.

A favorable trend was observed among girls, where the percentage of excessive body weight decreased by 13.6% (from 19.9% to 6.3%).

GB102 showed a trend toward reduction in HFD-induced leptin levels, although this effect did not reach statistical significance.

This structural restoration was accompanied by a highly significant reduction in serum LPS levels and a restorative trend in the mRNA expression of intestinal tight junction proteins (ZO-1, Claudin-1, and Occludin).

Statistical significance level was set at bilateral 5% ( p < 0.05), while p < 0.1 was considered indicative of a trend toward significance. 2.2.2.

Furthermore, the results of the one-way ANOVA demonstrated highly significant differences in physical activity levels and health literacy scores across the three groups.

p values < 0.05 and <0.01 were considered statistically significant and highly significant, respectively. 2.8.
