The phrase "associated with higher less" is not correct and does not make sense in written English.
It seems to be an incomplete or improperly constructed expression, and it cannot be used in any context as it stands.
Example: "The study found that the new treatment was associated with higher less effectiveness than the previous one." (This example highlights the incorrectness of the phrase.)
Alternatives: "linked to lower levels" or "connected with reduced amounts".
Thus, lower rate of mucin diffusivity is associated with higher viscosity, less dispersed and less transportable mucins that appear to characterize the clinical symptoms of thick mucus accumulation and obstruction commonly found in asthma, COPD and CF [29], [35], [44].
19 Colonoscopy can also been used to screen patients at average risk, 20 21 22 23 but this is associated with higher costs, less convenience, and the potential for adverse outcomes in a small number of patients.
Patients with a Ki-67 index >10 % or with evidence of metabolically active disease on the FDG PET/CT scan were generally offered chemotherapy as first-line therapy, since these features are associated with higher grade, less well-differentiated disease and a poorer prognosis [ 11].
All radionuclides are a source of ionizing radiation and are known carcinogens., Zoltan Szabo, a research hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), says the EPA threshold levels represent a reasonable guess as to levels associated with higher, perhaps less acceptable risks.
Higher total literacy scores were associated with higher cognitive function, less disability, and better mental health (all p values < 0.05).
Low body mass index was associated with higher mortality in less severe patients, with PS < 2 and low Charlson Comorbidity Index.
Butyrivibrio was greater on forage-based diets, and B. fibrisolvens and Ruminococcus were associated with higher pH and less time with pH below 5.8, 5.5, and 5.2.
Higher NO2 (but not PM2.5) quartile was associated with higher neighborhood SES, less overweightness, more former smokers, and more current alcohol users, whereas higher PM2.5 (but not NO2) was associated with significantly lower SES z-scores, more obesity, more current smokers, and fewer current alcohol users.
In the MESA study, 20-year exposures to PM2.5 and PM10 (PM ≤ 10 µm in diameter) were not associated with ABI as a continuous outcome, whereas 1-year mean PM10 exposures were associated with higher ABI, "indicating less subclinical disease among persons with greater exposure" (Diez Roux et al. 2008).
High activity of medium sized species was associated with high but less heterogeneous vegetation.
