We included in our sensitivity analyses an alternative calibration of age-specific susceptibilities that gave rise to a flat age-specific attack rate, similar to that of the 1968 pandemic [21] (see Supporting Information Text S2).
Melanoma have a flat age-incidence curve, whereas for other skin cancers, the increase is exponential with age.
Therefore, a flat age-curve suggests that in certain populations in developing countries, young women do not acquire new HPV infection more frequently than older women.
The young age structure of populations in developing countries coupled with a rather flat age-incidence curve (Fig. 3) implies that the mean age at diagnosis in developing countries is lower than that of European and American populations.
During a serogroup A meningococcal epidemic in Burkina Faso, we found among a representative community-based population sample of persons aged 1 to 39 years relatively flat age distributions of overall pneumococcal carriage as well as IgG seroprevalence for serotype 1 similar to other serotypes.
Initially, the NPs thin-film was prepared using conducting binders (EC and BCA) and embedded on the flat AgE electrode.
Flat AgE is fabricated by doped Mn2O3-ZnO NPs with butyl carbitol acetate (BCA) and ethyl cellulose (EC) as conducting coating agents.
This age pattern is similar to the flat age curve seen in rural India (Franceschi et al, 2005) and Africa (Thomas et al, 2004; Clifford & Franceschi, 2005).
There is more, but you're probably busy being sick into a bin – the one I got for my flat ages ago, before everyone had them.
The ensemble-based methods described a flat relationship between age and the log-odds of the outcome until approximately age 70 years, at which point, the log-odds of death increased with increasing age.
Responses ranged from specific issues, such as "able to breathe better", to broader desires, such as "visiting places" (remaining active), "be able to stay in my own flat" (ageing in place) and "able to help orphans" (reciprocity).
