Most researchers find a decreasing trend in physical abilities, particularly in strength, agility, sensory abilities, and speed as a consequence of aging [ 1 – 3 ], but aging does not have to result in decreases in functional capacities or health-related quality of life, especially in the young-old (i.e. aged about 55–75 years).

Given that young people have massively incorporated new technologies into their leisure-time activities [ 29 ] and that there has been a decreasing trend in Spain of active commuting to school [ 30 ], MVPA and active commuting (mainly walking) to school should be encouraged, among other activities [ 31 , 32 ].

For instance, an increasing trend in local α -diversity could parallel a decreasing trend in global β -diversity ( Sax & Gaines, 2003 ; Dornelas et al., 2014 ; Magurran et al., 2015 ).

The FBS variable in the control group was higher than in the case group, and there was a significant difference between them, which is in line with studies in this area, although the FBS had a decreasing trend in the production group during the study years.

Our values of Q 10 , ranging from 3.8 (± 0.18 95% CI) to 2.2 (± 0.43 95% CI), showed a decreasing trend going from the CTRL Fs , to the FIRE Fs and the HARV sites ( Table 1 ), such that temperature effects were reduced where seasonal temperature variations were higher.

Some minority groups, such as Hui, Kirghiz, Hani and Qiang showed a clearly declining trend over time, while some minority groups, such as Zhuang, Naxi (Nakhi), Dongxiang, Li and Tu showed a decreasing trend with upward fluctuations over time, while Yao and Dong showed a relatively flat trend with no statistically significant difference between 1995 and 2010 ( figure 3 ).

Vegetation type is the major cause of carbon and nitrogen concentration in the leaves, in our results there is a decreasing trend of carbon and nitrogen with increasing altitude.

Suicide by drowning was stable from 1969 to 1982 and then followed a decreasing trend through 2012 (APC = −3.0 %).

Tumor weights in the experimental nude mice were also determined to be 0.25, 0.08 and 0.05 g in the control, and 10 and 20 mg/kg α-mangostin-treated groups, respectively, indicating a decreasing trend in tumor weight upon the administration of α-mangostin ( Fig. 7B ).

[ 47 ] indicates no clear variation in CFR with age, while a few studies that evaluated children under the age of 5 years showed a decreasing trend with age.

A decreasing trend was observed in the patients' body mass index, but it failed to reach statistical significance (p value = 0.063).

Despite the occurrence of the reformation reaction for long milling time (after 6 h), the destruction reaction prevailed and a decreasing trend of the dioxins content is observed ( Fig. 2a ).

Similar to males, overall female suicide rates showed a decreasing trend from 56.5 per million in 2000 to 41.1 per million in 2007.

In addition, serum γ-GTP levels were significantly decreased in Total and Tertile 1, and a decreasing trend was observed in Tertile 3 ( S5G and S6G Figs).

In our study, a similar differential expression pattern of a Dnmt1 homologue (lib3_2_1_mRNA_53077, Supplementary Dataset S1 ) was detected, with a decreasing trend of expression during the progression of development.

The DT 50 of clothianidin in soil could not be calculated because it did not show a decreasing trend.
