Excerpts

The ENN 2009 and an analysis of sodium availability in Costa Rican homes, using the HBS methodology from the 2004 and 2013 national household surveys of income and expenditure [ 16 ], showed an increasing trend, and that it is therefore more conservative to assume it has not changed. 2.3 Counterfactual scenarios: Recommended salt intakes in the Costa Rican population Recommended sodium intakes in Costa Rica are represented by two different sets of goals: The first is based on the "National Plan for the reduction of salt/sodium consumption in Costa Rica 2011–2021 [ 11 ]", and complies with the goal set by the WHO of reaching a salt intake of 5 g per person/day for an energy intake of 2000 kcal/d [ 7 ].

By itself, stride length was a barely significant correlate of energy cost ( Table 2 ), which could be due in part to an actual effect, and in part to imperfect experimental control of speed.

Based on Table 1 , a clear trend emerges–the fabrics studied can be categorized in to two groups: highly breathable, loosely knit or woven fabrics that have pressure drop comparable to pediatric facemasks (21 Pa), and less breathable, tightly woven fabrics, with pressure drops comparable to the limit of N95 respirators (343 Pa).

Results and discussion High subjective well-being with minimal monetization Despite the complex nature of SWB, the three measures showed a decreasing trend with increasing monetization ( Fig 2 ).

Despite an assumption of “small” fluctuations used to justify the linear mass-action kinetics of Eq [ 2 ] , we found an increasing trend of mutual information for longer daisy chains simulated using the SSA for 2 to 128 source molecules [ 13 ], in qualitative agreement with predictions based on the rate equation approach.

Response: Although HRM assay showed small difference in Tm between the resistant and susceptible isolates, the difference is highly significant and sufficient to discriminate the azole resistant and susceptible isolates.

Noteworthy, sway area of patients with schizophrenia showed a trend of constant increase as compared to healthy controls, which is independent from the time from first hospitalization; however, the underpowered subgroups showed significant increases of sway area only in the early and middle stages of disease ( Fig 3 , panels 3D-3F).

In Europe, an overall trend for a reduction in the incidence rate of STEMI has also been observed [ 2 ].

The reported associations were of moderate strength and highly significant.

When a dose-response meta-analysis was conducted among 13 prospective studies [ 31 ], the association per one cup of coffee per day was nominally significant (OR for postmenopausal disease = 0.97, 95% CI = 0.95–1.00), which was consistent with the finding of the current MR study (OR = 0.90, 95% CI 0.79–1.02).

Though there are disparities in the predicted results, all the methods predict an increasing trend for all the provinces except for the STAR method applied to the Ontario data.

Over the years, a constant trend of 28-day readmissions was observed for ischemic stroke in contrast to a decreasing trend for hemorrhagic stroke for both sexes.

The majority of DE miRNAs showed a trend of down-regulation during CGA accumulation ( Fig 7D ). miR156, miR166, miR167 and miR858 were found in different comparisons, which had been reported to be involved in phenylpropanoid pathway [ 47 ].

Even though CXCL-10 urinary concentration showed a trend, its effect on AR was not significant.

An increasing trend in prevalence was observed with 2019 recording the highest at 9% (271/3027).

Line 470 – this is clearly borderline significant, I suggest stating that.

Another study in Denmark reported an increasing trend from 1994 to 2016, with no decrease [ 15 ].

Females reported a relatively higher number of psychiatric diagnoses than males overall, including significantly more diagnoses of anxiety, depression, and approaching significance for post-traumatic stress disorder; however, relatively more males than females reported a diagnosis of schizophrenia.

Ideally, the model would be extended to account for the possibly significant increase in risk from household members doing activities together.

In addition, although bPEP/bET only showed a trend to be associated with overall mortality in univariable analysis, it became significant predictor of overall mortality after multivariable analysis.

Indeed, when we analyzed our data according to male-dominated, mixed, and female-dominated occupations, we found an absence of statistically significant differences in positive employer response rates between men and women for the former two categories, but a large and highly significant male disadvantage in female-dominated occupations.

The negative and significant coefficient for EH in June on ΔBI and Δ(BI+GS) stands out (models 5 and 13), but since the relation is only weakly significant (and mostly disappears after we apply propensity score matching), we ignore it.

Findings related to level of education showed a trend of the iceberg profile increasing in prevalence among the more highly-qualified participants, whereas the prevalence of the more negative inverse Everest and inverse iceberg profiles was highest among participants with the lowest level of educational attainment ( Fig 4 ).

I'm not a fan of statistical testing of demographic features between treatment arms, and your study might be a good example of permitting the reader to draw their own conclusion as to if any of these features are practically significant (rather than being drawn to a p value that perhaps better reflects size of the study).

A clear trend is found.
