Model fitting results for the 12 South American countries with the highest COVID-19 deaths (represented by panels a–l). The time-series plots for the weekly reported COVID-19 deaths are represented in red line with simulation median (in black) and the basic reproduction number, [Math Proces...
‘Never stunted’ includes children who did not become stunted by the age of 15 months. Pooled results were derived from random-effects models with restricted maximum-likelihood estimation. Thinner lines indicate cohort-specific estimates. The median I2 statistic measuring heterogeneity in each meta-...
Prevalence of asthma by region. Prevalence of asthma (% [95% CI]) by region across the countries studied *P value (χ2 test); adjusted by age and gender. Egypt: A = Greater Cairo/North Egypt, B = Canal/other, C = Upper Egypt. Kuwait: A = Western Kuwait, B ...
The classification was done in four steps: 1) estimate the pre-control nodule prevalence in adult males (age 20+) from REMO data; 2) translate pre-control nodule prevalences in adult males to pre-control mf prevalences in the general population (age 5+, standardised to the OCP population)...
the assumption that anyone abroad who lives in the countryside is poor. I love when they ask derogatorily whether someone is from the countryside, which automatically would make that person a toothless hillbilly in their minds. I've tried explaining that many suburban areas have higher median ...

This is supported by findings of a 2002 Korean study on late-life depression44. In the urban sample, advanced age and poor education were found to be independently associated with depression. Similarly, low education was found to be associated with depression in the rural sample. It is ...
b, Age-specific wasting prevalence, defined as WLZ < –2, overall (n = 3,985–9,906 children) and stratified by region (Africa: n = 1,701–5,017 children; Latin America: n = 290–1,397 children; South Asia: n = 1,994–3,751 children). The median I2 ...
The median (IQR) PHQ-9 score of all the three follow-up points was 1.0 for women that had MNM and the control group. The PHQ-9 score of nearly all women (99%) was less than the cutoff for moderate to severe depression, which is 10 points. Only 7% of the women had mild ...
