In doing so, the EPA provided guidance on how to calculate relative response factors (RRFs) that can project current design value (DV) mixing ratios into the future for the purpose of determining the attainment status with respect to the O3 standard. The RRFs recommended by the EPA represent...
Because sociodemographic characteristics (educational attainment, marital status, employment, and family income) were conceptualized as being potentially in the causal pathway of trends in suicide attempts, the multivariable analyses were not controlled for these variables. We used χ2 tests to evaluate ...
All eligible participants will be informed during the online informed consent process that they will be compensated $5.50 in average for completing each survey assessment, for a total compensation of $33 for completing all six assessments. All eligible participants also will be informed during the on...
Apart from the low SDI region, the age-standardized DALYs for NTDs in the other four SDI regions exhibited stable trends from 1990 to 2019. The low SDI region demonstrated a significant downward trend, yet its rate was much higher than the global average. The ratios in low-medium, medium,...
On average, older adults in China are expected to be in robust, pre-frail or frail status for 4.18, 7.46 or 3.10 years, respectively. Frail older adults had a total LE reduction of 2.19 years and a reduction of robust LE of 3.87 years compared with robust older adults in China. These ...
Person-years of life lost incorporate age and residual life expectancy at death to represent the average number of years a person would have lived in the absence of cancer.6 Thus, deaths at younger ages are associated with higher PYLL and, consequently, greater lost earnings. Several studies ...
Regarding smoking among women in Western and Central Europe, the prevalence among women in certain developed countries considerably surpasses the global average. Notably, the prevalence is especially high among women aged 15 to 19 [32]. Despite extensive tobacco control efforts, the prevalence of smok...
Firstly, we calculated TFR and values of the relevant variables (GDP per capita, life expectancy at birth, female Expected years of schooling and HDI) for each region using mean and standard deviations (mean ± SD). The results of the world and each region were the averages of the ...
The average age of the participants was 62.1 ± 9.5 years, and slightly over half (51.0%) were female. The E-DII score ranged from −5.79 to +4.39, with a mean of −0.16 (SE: 1.98). The average ASMI of the participants was 7.26 ± 1.31 kg/m2, and the AS...
