With exception of ICF, single trait breeding values (STBVs) from the national evaluation were available for both 1st parity animals (heifers, suffixed H) and 2nd and 3rd parity animals (cows, suffixed C).

1For example, data on GDP adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP) are available for as many as 188 countries and 55 years in Heston, Summers and Aten (2009).
Parity has been associated with BW but was not included in the analysis of present study, as information on parity was only available for about three-quarter of the mothers.
Starting with 193 countries (i.e. WHO Member States) for consideration, the data on the GDP per capita purchasing power parity (PPP) were available for only 173 countries (see additional file 1).
Hypothesis 2: High anxiety was not a significant predictor of having an epidural (OR = 0.92; 95% CI: 0.56-1.50; p = 0.725) when controlling for parity, infant macrosomia, previous cesarean section, fatigue, fear of birth, sleep deprivation, and available support.
Wednesday was a night for parity.
