The phrase "attenuating indicators" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are discussing factors or signs that reduce or lessen the impact of something.
Example: "The study identified several attenuating indicators that could help mitigate the effects of climate change on local ecosystems."
Alternatives: "diminishing factors" or "mitigating signs".
However, when adjusting WC for BMI, the association of education with WC was strongly attenuated, indicating that BMI is a good indicator of the association between education and obesity.
This is especially important because nutrition can both exacerbate and attenuate many disease indicators, such as oxidative stress and inflammation, that are linked to health risks associated with exposures (Hennig et al. 2007).
Figure 3 illustrates that the inclusion of individual and area socioeconomic status (SES) indicators attenuated the associations of residential greenness with moderately preterm birth, SGA, and term birth weight, whereas the inclusion of air pollution, noise, walkability, and park distance had relatively little influence.
Perhaps some CBPs diffuse out of the cell and into the pipette during the indicator equilibration period, thereby attenuating the levels of CBPs.
Maternal height at the time of pregnancy was inversely associated with offspring cardiovascular disease in sex adjusted models (hazard ratio for CHD and Stroke combined per 1 inch maternal height 0.93 [95%CI: 0.88, 0.99]), but this association attenuated with adjustment for indicators of socioeconomic position (0.97 [95%CI: 0.91, 1.03]).
However, the effect became attenuated when individual-level indicators were included for whether the mother received skilled antenatal care during pregnancy and had the presence of a skilled attendant at birth (odds ratio: 0.97, 95% CI: 0.92 1.01, Model 4 of Fig. 3a).
Analyses at the individual level, however, demonstrated that the CCI may only be a proxy for maternal/child-level utilization of health interventions as the protective effect of national-level CCI coverage attenuated after controlling for indicators of ANC and SBA.
"It has an attenuating effect.
Possible over-adjustment could explain why we observed some evidence for effect mediation by 25(OH D on our seasonal modeling of fibrinogen, while the inverse relation seen in the unadjusted cross-sectional analyses between these two factors was fully attenuated by the adjustment for indicators of adiposity and lifestyle/social class.
The nonuniform metabolic state would have increased the noise variations in our "crude" surrogate insulin sensitivity and β-cell function indicators and hence attenuated the observed associations.
