In Spearhead local authorities, we estimated a slightly higher proportion of the increase in men's and women's life expectancy to have been attributable to the improvements in unemployment and income.
The relative contribution of hyperglycaemia compared with obesity in the development of macrosomia is controversial 32 but as we adjusted the birthweight centiles for maternal height and weight, and baseline maternal body mass indices were similar in both groups, the observed differences in birth weight are most likely attributable to the improvements obtained in glycaemic control.
Finally, he said, it is not the cost of the improvement that is exempt, but only the increase in value attributable to the improvement.
Studies report a three- to fourfold increase in the incidence of IAI during the past decade [5, 28], mainly attributable to the improvement of the quality of treatment and the survival rate of immunocompromised patients.
This finding might be attributable to the improvement of the case-fatality rate because of better treatment or to a reduction of the rate of stage II+ cancers.
This increase in microvessel density following HDAC inhibition in diabetic myocardium may also be attributable to the improvement in cardiac function and attenuation of remodeling.
Studies report a three- to fourfold increase in the incidence of IAI during the past decade [ 5, 28], mainly attributable to the improvement of the quality of treatment and the survival rate of immunocompromised patients.
Therefore, the current study was designed to examine 1) whether basal insulin treatment of hyperglycemic patients with type 2 diabetes improves first- and second-phase insulin secretion in response to glucose, and if so, 2) whether this was attributable to the chronic improvements in glycemia or the acute differences in fasting glucose levels during the experiments.
Because changes in house design alone have been shown to reduce malaria, 28, 29 the health benefit gained in sleeping under UPS might be partly attributable to the simple improvements in shelter design (full interior lining), which might have reduced access to host-seeking mosquitoes.
Furthermore, improvements in endurance running were observed while wearing calf compression stockings, however, these were not attributable to the small improvement in aerobic capacity that was also observed [ 8].
These morphological or biochemical changes are in agreement with the previous findings with Exendin-4 [68], [68], and may collectively be attributable to the functionality improvement reflected by enhanced insulin sensitivity, reduced insulin demand and optimized β-cell efficiency [69].
