Adjustment for adiponectin attenuated relations between VAT, SAT, and cardiometabolic risk factors, but adiponectin did not fully account for the strong relations between VAT and cardiometabolic risk factors.
Third, several investigators adjusted for changes in risk factors on the causal pathway between diet and disease, serum lipids and blood pressure, which attenuates relations between saturated or trans fats and the outcomes.
However, additional adjustment for world region, period of data collection, GDD survey representativeness, and GDD dietary assessment method attenuated the relation for nuts and seeds and improved the relation for whole grains and total energy.
Psychological detachment from work during evening hours and sleep quality attenuated this relation.
At any observing location, the event signal is usually attenuated in relation to the distance between the observing location and the event.
Stable isotope variations of the dripwaters in all caves were attenuated in relation to the rainwater, even those of the drip sites with fracture-flow behaviour.
Mutual adjustment attenuated the relation of metabolic syndrome with childhood social class; that with adult social class was little affected.
Additional adjustment for BMI nullified the association with CHF (0.97 [0.75–1.24]) but only modestly attenuated the relation to CVD incidence (1.23 [1.00–1.51], P = 0.052).
Physical activity or exercise was significantly associated with both physical and cognitive functioning (25, 26), and it attenuated the relation between physical and cognitive functioning in one study (27).
The exact mechanisms underlying the job insecurity-CHD association are unknown, although the adjustment for socioeconomic status and CHD risk factors attenuated the relation between job insecurity and CHD.
