The population shrank in the three major metropolitan areas--Tokyo, Kansai and Nagoya--although the city of Tokyo saw an increase for the first time in three years, driven by people moving to the capital from elsewhere in Japan. Meanwhile, the population of foreign nationals living in Japan i...
human-altered environments can generate a succession of deleterious functional changes leading to the extinction of the population. To study how persistent anthropogenic changes impacted local species’ population status, we characterised population

growing trend of overpopulation in major cities around the world. With their population skyrocketing to an unprecedented level of over 1- million in some giant cities such Tokyo, Shanghai, and Mexico City, the urban infrastructure is often hard-pressed to cope with the problem of providin[...
the conditional weighted residuals were symmetrically distributed around the line of zero (within ± 2 standard deviations of the mean) without an obvious trend, indicating no evidence of model misspecification. Overall, the goodness-of-fit plots show no clear systematic bias in the structural ...
which can increase the risk of preterm birth and having a LBW infant9. To evaluate the secular trend in the risk of delivery for older mothers, the estimated odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for maternal age were plotted using locally weighted polynomial regression as a smoothing...
After further adjusted for baseline TyG index, risks of incident CKD of participants in higher quartiles of TyG index variability and cumulative TyG index also significantly increased compared to those in the lowest quartile (P for trend < 0.001). Kaplan-Meier curve showed similar results and...
