ICW/H 2 and ECW/H 2 exhibited an increasing trend in accordance with the TBW/H 2 quartile.

Among these risk factors, a clear trend of increased risk was observed for alcohol consumption and smoking (linear trend test P <0.0001 for both variables).

Salt preference and alcohol consumption had were marginally significant (< 0.1; these variables were thus included in the model), and meal regularity and physical activity had no effect on gastric cancer incidence in women.

Similar results were found for men, and only meal regularity had marginal significance.

In Romania, the overall incidence of tuberculosis was approximately 100 cases per 100,000 population in 2011, with a decreasing trend from an incidence of 142 per 100,000 population in 2002, but the number of severe cases of TB in children (meningoencephalitis, miliary, cavitary) still maintains a high annual rate (65/100,000 in 2011) [ 4 ].

Health outcomes demonstrate a positive trend for all groups between 1999 and 2010 (Tables 6 and 8 , Fig 2e–2g ).

All but one of the 13 respondents who perceived a negative trend in manatee numbers blamed it on hunting pressure (6 respondents) and/or reduced water level (7 respondents).

The relationship between ΣPCBs in resting females compared to pregnant (p = 0.065) and lactating (p = 0.066) females was almost significant, having controlled for other factors.

If we first focus on the examples for market parameters in the bistable regime (first column, a = 5 · 10 −4 , h 0 = 10 −3 ), we find a highly significant autocorrelation of absolute returns which only falls off slowly, in accordance with previous empirical literature [ 2 , 4 , 58 , 59 ].

ively at interventions delivered in the late phase of stroke recovery; one finding no benefit,[ 17 ] and the other (based on a single study) finding strong evidence of benefit.[ 21 ] Two reviews reported measures of community reintegration,[ 22 , 23 ] both of reasonable quality, and both identified a significant trend favouring therapy intervention.

Several studies provide increasing evidence that such variable Aβ peptides may be significant in AD pathogenesis [ 6 – 9 ].

In species collected from sufficiently large geographic areas, the intraspecific variation was non-randomly distributed and showed highly significant negative correlation with latitude (in 2x A . alpinum and 4x A . odoratum ) and a less pronounced but still significant association with altitude (positive in 2x A . alpinum and negative both in the “Mediterranean diploid” and 4x A . odoratum ) ( Table 2 , S1 Fig ).

Between-group statistical differences were assessed using unpaired t -tests, with p < 0.05 used to define a significant difference and p < 0.0001 used to define a highly significant difference.

A clear trend was only seen in the postmenopausal group and in those who were nonsmokers (overall trend p-values of 0.004 and 0.023 respectively).

In the first case (>45% recovery) statistical analysis showed a trend towards lower values of total cholesterol (p 0,0584) in patients showing recovery.

In addition, the mutational site of 1896 was identified for its association with survival at a borderline significance level.

In the cohort with low education, the magnitude of the regression coefficients of latitude and of latitude*latitude decreased after including rurality and remained significant only for all-cause mortality, although the coefficients for mortality from cancer and from cardiovascular diseases were marginally significant (p values around 0.07).

However, there is a clear trend in correct responses when the concentration of potassium in the sample is decreasing.

In a previous study, DGGE analysis revealed that Clostridium cluster IV and Clostridium cluster XIV showed a trend for differences between secretor and non-secretor adults [ 9 ].

Although we have not yet investigated specific reasons for not seeking help, our findings so far strongly suggest that the unmet need for MDE may be considerable, and that there might be significant inequalities to detect in further study.

Among the parameters measured, total root length and root depth are quite significant as they determine capture of water and nutrients by plants, and are targets for crop improvement [ 28 ].

So, model 1 addressed the question of a possible trend in sedentary behaviour across days of the week (Monday is the reference day).

[ 10 ] found that political orientation was a marginally significant covariate of the effect of weight on decisions to fund social issues, and they found that conservative individuals preferred less funding for social issues.

One OTU showed a borderline significance association with p-cresyl-sulphate but did not reach the FDR threshold.

Increasing the interval between two irradiations from 3 h to 6 h showed a trend toward increased cytotoxicity with only 43% or 31% viable cells, respectively.
