Belonging to the intervention group or the high-protein group had a significant positive effect on cognitive scores ( p < 0.05), while language and motor scores showed a positive trend, though not statistically significant.

Comparing preterm infants in the low-protein and high-protein groups, regardless of study group, showed a weak trend toward better scores in the high-protein group, though statistical significance was not reached ( Table 5 ).

While most BSID-III scale differences between the SF and TFO groups were not statistically significant, the study shows a clear trend favoring TFO.

Intake of animal food sources such as “meat and poultry”, “eggs”, “fish and shellfish”, and “milk and dairy products” increased significantly before adjusting for gender, age, and energy intake (unadjusted p -value for trend <0.001, “milk and dairy products” were not significant before adjusting.), and showed a decreasing trend after adjustment for gender, age, and energy intake (adjusted p -value for trend <0.01).

In this present study, the LHS group (sarcopenic group with maximum handgrip strength below baseline) showed a trend of approx. 23 percent point decrease in plant protein intake from Q1 (45.8%) to Q5 (22.7%).

“Seasonings” and “beverages”, which are a mixture of animal and plant foods, showed an increasing trend from Q1 to Q5 like the plant food group (unadjusted p for trend < 0.001, adjusted p for trend < 0.05).

For participants reporting a URTI, the Levagen+ group reported a significantly lower severity score for scratchy throat and cough, with hoarseness and the ability to breathe easily trending towards significance ( Table 4 ) when compared to the placebo group.

Discussion: A clear trend emerged, indicating a direct association between environmental sustainability, positive health outcomes, and adherence to the MedD.

However, there was a nonsignificant trend for fortified bread to have a lower peak in detected parameters than control bread and no differences in satiety [ 39 ].

However, soy bread had a marginally significant effect on diastolic blood pressure (DBP).

Both groups exhibited a significant decrease in LDL-P size; however, the absolute change in LDL-P size did not differ significantly between the groups, and the percent change in LDL-P size in the PS-C group showed borderline significance (−0.89%) compared to the PL-C group.

The iodine factor may be significant for Turkey, as a study published in 2021 stated that 19% of Turkish lactating mothers are hypothyroid, attributable to iodine deficiency [ 20 ].

In addition, the subgroup comparison for leg press and chest press showed only a statistical trend.

However, there was a slight trend towards increased ALOX5 expression when fibroblasts were treated with AA alone or a combination of both AA and IL-1β compared to when they were treated with vehicle or IL-1β alone.

An interesting trend emerged within the data: adolescents involved in individual sports tended to use more supplements, particularly creatine, compared to their counterparts in team sports.

Significance was determined as being at p < 0.05, a trend toward significance signaled by p < 0.15. 3.

The Emergence of Dietary Patterns A notable trend observed in the studies included was a shift from focusing on individual nutrients to broader dietary patterns, particularly plant-based and Mediterranean diets, which emerged as the most frequently studied diets.

Notably, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in plasma and serum samples showed a decreasing trend, highlighting a potential role of oxidative stress in the etiopathogenesis and clinical progression of Op [ 66 ].

A p -value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant, and p < 0.01 was regarded as highly significant.

Meta-analyses of human gut microbiota and obesity have also not found a clear trend between the F/B ratio and obesity status [ 21 ].

The proportion of frail patients in the intervention group decreased significantly compared with the baseline ( p = 0.031; Figure 2 C), whereas the prevalence of frailty in the control group showed a decreasing trend compared with the baseline, which was not statistically significant ( p = 0.061; Figure 2 D).

Interestingly, EFCM displays only a weak and marginally significant effect, hinting that while ethics may matter, they are secondary to more immediate personal health concerns.

Other studies have also observed a clear trend of increasing UPF consumption with increasing age from childhood to adolescence [ 40 ], with school-aged children and adolescents being the highest consumers of UPFs in Australia [ 40 , 48 ].

The effect of latitude and season on VDD is highly significant, as it is directly related to sunshine intensity.

However, in this study, with the increase in aging years, components such as tea polyphenols and catechins gradually decreased, theabrownin accumulated continuously, flavonoids showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, and soluble dietary fiber increased significantly in the later stage.
