The phrase "adjustment for attenuation" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to measurements, signal processing, or any field where the effects of attenuation need to be accounted for.
Example: "The final results required an adjustment for attenuation to ensure accurate readings."
Alternatives: "correction for signal loss" or "modification for attenuation effects."
The measured Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficient between the two tests was very high (0.94), reaching unity (1.00) once values were correlated after adjustment for attenuation.
Measured Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficients between all apoB100 determinations were very high, respectively at 0.94 (measured vs. equation 1); 0.92 (measured vs. equation 2); and 0.97 (equation 1 vs. equation 2), each measurement reaching unity after adjustment for attenuation.
The measured Pearson's product moment correlation coefficients between the three apoB100 determinations methods were very high, respectively 0.94 (measured vs. equation 1 apoB100); 0.92 (measured vs. equation 2 andB10.97 and 0.97 (equation 1 vs. equation 2 apoB100), each reaching unity (1.00) once values were correlated after adjustment for attenuation (Table 3).
In some studies, adjustment of retinal sensitivity spectra for attenuation of blue light by the ocular lens may have suggested a greater advantage for blue light than was empirically observed with corneal illumination [ 5].
While adjustment for biomarkers revealed an attenuation of results in our analysis, another cohort study found no clear dose response associations between breast-feeding and maternal glucose and lipid metabolism or inflammatory markers 3 years post partum [ 35].
Using our age and gender adjusted model, adjustment for height and then either weight, or fat and lean mass, produced similar degrees of attenuation compared with BMI adjustment.
Adjustment for occupational class attenuated the relations somewhat, and although adjustment for all the available risk factors caused further attenuation, significant trends remained for all these causes (except stroke).
The protective Hispanic effect, i.e. a lower likelihood of Hispanics being eligible, and its attenuation with adjustment for language is consistent with studies demonstrating Hispanics have better adjusted health status than Whites, a benefit that attenuates with greater acculturation [ 45- 47].
Further adjustment for BMI resulted in partial attenuation of the age and gender adjusted odds ratios for moderate osteophytes and knee OA in HBM cases vs. controls (Fig. 2).
The corresponding attenuation was 12% after adjustment for psychosocial factors (adjusted OR = 1.71, CI = 1.38-2.11) and 9% after adjustment for health behaviors (adjusted OR = 1.74, CI = 1.41-2.14).
Further adjustment for biomarkers (Table 4) attenuated the association, with the strongest attenuation observed with adjustment for lipid biomarkers (HR per 6 months 0.85; 95% CI 0.66, 1.09) and adiponectin (HR 0.84; 95% CI 0.64, 1.10).
