Thus, because the following analyses are largely based on age distributions of LTR elements with divergences <30%, they should be unaffected by any biases in the identification of extremely old inserts.
As a benchmark comparison, US normative data were calculated based on age and gender distribution of the protocol population [ 32].
The clinical classification is based on age at onset, distribution of muscle weakness, sensory loss, walking difficulties, and foot deformities [ 3].
Demographic data used in the model were based on age-specific distribution of the UK population (Office for National Statistics. http://www.statistics.gov.uk).gov.uk
However, the people aged 65 and older residing in the SEER registry states are known to be comparable to those in the non-SEER states based on age and sex distributions [ 46].
Conclusions Incorporating exact background rates of disease based on age, sex, and seasonal distribution could strengthen vaccine safety assessment, and provides an evidence based focus for discussing the incremental risk of newly introduced vaccines.
Finally, the age range at the visit was relatively broad, meaning that individuals may have had differences in body composition based on age alone, potentially broadening the distribution of fat mass and increasing correlation coefficients.
Selection criteria for primary health care professionals included: working with patients on a daily basis, involvement of physicians and nurses, and equal distribution based on age group, gender, and practice in urban/rural areas.
Similar prevalence rates have been shown in other populations (European and Asian) with a comparable distribution pattern based on age and sex [ 6].
Third, we adjusted the age distribution of VHA users based on the age distribution of VHA users, because the MEPS under weighted VHA users under 55 years old, and over weighted VHA users 55 or older.
