We found inverse associations between plasma homocysteine and muscle strength/physical function, and borderline significant inverse associations for femur BMD.

Factors associated with treatment receipt With regard to surgery for stage IV disease, in multivariate analyses, resection was significantly less common among patients who were older, unmarried, and male ( P ⩽0.01; data not shown) and there was a borderline significant effect of site (multivariate odds ratio (OR) rectum vs colon=0.87, 95% CI 0.75–1.01).

Together with the borderline significant difference in pPDT ratio and the difference seen in TS of the upper abdomen suggests a pattern of generalized or segmental neuronal sensitization.

Many others are borderline significant, which is compatible with existing literature [ 45 ], with regional marked differences.

Further, among the external environment-specific attributes, the SDP growth in the region is shown to have significant influence on the competitiveness of high-tech start-ups (borderline significant).

Their findings showed a statistically significant reduction in BPD at 36 weeks postmenstrual age and a borderline significant decrease in the combined outcome of mortality or BPD.

Incident TPOAb in overt hyperthyroidism was concentrated in the younger age strata in the entire sample and in women, but this observation was only borderline significant in men.

The individual associations within region A and region B are borderline significant.

In a follow-up of mammography screening in Florence (Italy), breast cancer mortality was estimated to be 19% lower (borderline significant) in invited women diagnosed with breast cancer between 1990 and 1993 (follow-up to 1999) compared with that in women not yet invited to screening ( Paci et al , 2002b ).

These studies both involved relatively small numbers of affected families and yielded borderline significant p values.

The longitudinal decrease in FA averaged over C3–C6 was borderline significant after correction for multiple testing, but post hoc analysis suggests that FA averaged over C4–C5 could be more precise.

A weakness of this study is the small sample size, which increases the risk of type 2 error and may explain the borderline significant results and the lack of consistency to previous studies.

Targeted sequencing of RPS6KA2 Because of the marginally/borderline significant associations in the intronic region of RPS6KA2 in the CALM1 cohort GWAS, ~24 Kb (chr6:166,995,059–167,018,915) of intron 1 of RPS6KA2 was sequenced (transcript variant 1, NM_021135.6 ) in order to investigate other possible variants.

After controlling for year of birth, we also observed a borderline significant difference in the distribution of occupational radiation breast dose among controls who did and did not provide a dried blood spot card, with a greater proportion of participating compared to non-participating controls being in the highest radiation dose category (> 0.06 Gy) (Table 1 ).

In fully adjusted models, the highest quartile of LAI in males remained significantly associated with stroke risk (HR 2.05, 95% CI 1.09 to 3.86) compared with Q1 and Q3 showed a borderline significant stroke risk compared with Q1 (HR 1.76, 95% CI 1.00 to 3.09).

We considered a p -value of less than 0.05 as statistically significant and less than 0.10 as borderline significant.

37.88 ug/dL; p = 0.0404) while ferritin and transferrin were borderline significant.

A German study of survivors of adolescent cancer suggested that visual or hearing late effects as well as neuropsychological late effects were risk factors for poorer educational attainment at different levels, while increasing length of treatment was borderline significant [ 31 ].

A later meta-analysis showed only borderline significant effects ( Bagnardi et al. 2001 a , b ), and the most recent review concluded that the evidence for a causal relationship was not sufficient ( Bandera et al. 2001 ).

Variables that were significant (or borderline significant) in the univariate models were included in the multivariate regression model.

The interaction between WQS and sex was borderline significant ( Table 2 ; with 95% confidence interval based on the 100 holdout datasets: (−1.28, 5.13), with only 9% negative estimates).

84 107 Two recent Mendelian randomisation studies found that body mass index was statistically significantly associated with an increased risk of squamous and small cell lung cancer but had a borderline significant inverse association with lung adenocarcinoma. 92 108 One of the Mendelian randomisation studies found a statistically significant inverse association between body mass index and total lung cancer among never smokers and a null association in ever smokers, 108 which contradicts the epidemiological evidence.

As for BMI, there were significant, or borderline significant, increases in the prevalence of excess adiposity in terms of both WC and WHR ( tables 3 and 4 ).

The odds ratios calculated from the multivariable model are lower than those calculated for the two univariable models, with the effect of spring reduced from borderline significant to not significant.

According to [ 12 ], their aa-binding sites are of the three types: - Sites in which cognate codon and anticodon are both significantly over-represented, this group including arginine, isoleucine and (borderline significant) tyrosine. - Sites in which only cognate anticodons are found in significant excess, this group including histidine, phenylalanine and tryptophan. - Sites in which neither anticodons nor codons significantly dominate, this group including glutamine and presumably leucine.
