This birth cohort was followed from birth to age 70 for residence, vital status and cause of death. At the age of 50 years, 25% of the birth cohort were dead and at age 70, 43% had died. The high infant mortality and the great impact of infectious diseases in the beginning of this...
Mortality trends in systemic sclerosis in France and USA, 1980–1998: an age-period-cohort analysis We compared trends of Systemic Sclerosis (SS) mortality in France and the USA over the period 1980鈥 1998 and used an Age-Period-Cohort (APC) model to adjus... S Kernéis,PY Boëlle,RF...
Bayesian dynamic hierarchical model for repeated surveys capturing simultaneous effects of age, cohort and time period.Time-structured random effects model both stability and change.Smoothly time-varying effects of individual characteristics on political behavior.Application to religious voting in the United ...
It is proposed to model the counts of deaths directly using a Poisson regression with an age-period-cohort structure, but without offset. Traditionally the age-period-cohort is viewed to suffer from an identification problem. It is shown how to re-parameterize the model in terms of freely ...
Age-period-cohort models were used to disentangle the time trends of esophageal and gastric cancer mortality. The downward slope of the period effect for esophageal cancer was steeper than that for gastric cancer in rural areas. Cohort effect patterns were similar between esophageal and gastric ...
However, cohort effects are relatively weak. There is no evidence that later cohorts are less satisfied than earlier cohorts. These results indicate that the new generation is more politically dissatisfied due to their age rather than their cohort. We also find that period effects interact with ...
Prospective cohort studies are conducted by enrolling a large, homogenous group of individuals that are then followed over a long period of time to ascertain the occurrence of death and/or disease. From: Mutation Research/Fundamental and Molecular Mechanisms of Mutagenesis, 2012 ...
We found that the median time from diagnosis to ART initiation before and after treat-all in China was 41 days (IQR: 18–256) and 22 days (IQR: 11–65), respectively, which aligns with previous studies. A retrospective nationwide cohort study conducted in China between 1 January 2012 and...
. The reasons for such inter-individual variability may be linked to differences in physical activity status, stress levels, sex, age, ethnicity, complex pre-existing comorbidities and diseases, genetics, rapid versus delayed responses and current pharmacotherapy. However, it is also important to ...
Our study adopted a randomised control trial (RCT) design to assess the short-term (i.e., pre/post) and longer-term (i.e., 3-month) effectiveness of The Pathways Programme. Our research design allowed us to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of the program across a cohort of UK male...
