For example, if the delineation of one part of the ventricle is slightly outside the ventricle border, there is a lower uptake in one (or more) of the basal part(s) of the ventricle, which affects the calculated perfusion vector.
Among patients without comorbidities and social disadvantage, there was a lower uptake of treatment among Indigenous patients compared to non-Indigenous patients.
62 There is a lower uptake of dental screening for older ages in comparison with persons of middle age, and our result is in accordance with another study which has analysed the dental screening uptake with the BHPS in the UK.
The findings about gender and ethnic disparities are compatible with other studies: Asian ethnicity is associated with a lower uptake of services (Commander, Odell, Surtees, & Sashidharan, 2004; Hussain & Cochrane, 2004); and females have higher consultation and prescribing rates in primary care and for depression (Moore et al., 2009; Shah, McNiece, & Majeed, 2001).
The provision of more comprehensive less directive information and greater autonomy, time and support of independent decision making were associated with a lower uptake of BCT.
Material deprivation, acting independently of race, was influential in explaining a lower uptake rate, and a lower serial adherence, for the catch-up cohort.
This was essentially due to a lower uptake rate for the eligibility phase and also the higher than expected incidence of self-reported screening in those who did return the eligibility survey, and these outcomes have been reported elsewhere [ 37].
Men are known to have a lower uptake than women of colorectal screening measures, at least in Germany [ 27]: a detailed analysis of colonoscopy screening participation in Germany shows a 10%% lower uptake of screening colonoscopy by men, which is increased in the age groups below 70 [ 5].
Consistent with the known distribution of MAO-A [2], a lower uptake was noted in the cerebellum of all subjects (the cerebellar area under the curve was about 35% lower than the mean value of the whole brain).
A limited number of benign lesions were studied, but these had a lower uptake than malignant lesions.
