These twins can be regarded as representative of the general population since they have the same mortality rate [ 14] and the same prevalence of various diseases as the population at large, such as insulin dependent diabetes [ 15], hand eczema [ 16], asthma and allergic rhinitis [ 17], and LBP [ 18].
The twins can be regarded as representative of the general population since they have previously been shown to have the same mortality rate [ 9] and the same prevalence of various diseases as the population at large, e.g. insulin dependent diabetes [ 10], hand eczema [ 11], asthma and allergic rhinitis [ 12], and LBP [ 13].
Other treatable etiological agents, Chlamydia pneumoniae and Mycoplasma pneumoniae, accounted for 11% in children and 8% in adults and with the same prevalence between patients with FP and OND.
The study by Romero et al. (15) is comparable to ours both for patient characteristics and DR classification and reports the same prevalence of any DR (55.4%) but a higher rate of more severe DR (27%).
Unusually, the setAB genes are encoded within the pic gene but on the complementary strand and thus have the same prevalence characteristics and disease associations as pic [19].
Hay fever can be considered an allergic condition of the upper airways and our observations show common risk factors for hay fever and asthma, but the same prevalence for eczema.
Cases and controls showed the same prevalence for the two variants, which were found in linkage disequilibrium in most cases and controls.
ACE inhibitors, primarily used for the treatment of heart failure and hypertension, with the same prevalence in both sexes, were more commonly dispensed to men.
UCTD most frequently progressed into RA, and SLE, Sjögren syndrome, and MCTD had about the same prevalence.
Dr. E. Fuller Torrey, a Washington psychiatrist who has published some of the most provocative analyses of the origins of schizophrenia, believes that the illness was virtually unknown until about 1800, when it appeared suddenly all over the Western world, increased rapidly for about 100 years, then leveled off about 1920 and has maintained essentially the same prevalence rate ever since.
Including the 108 ungradable subjects, and assuming these have the same prevalence rates within age groups as the gradable subjects, leads to some changes in AMD sample numbers within each age group, but also to changes in weights.
