The mean age at menarche varies from population to population and is known to be a sensitive indicator of various characteristics of population including nutritional status, geographical location, environmental conditions and magnitude of socioeconomic inequalities in a society [ 1- 3].
Previous studies in Iran (Cook-Mozaffari et al, 1979; Ghadirian et al, 1985) avoided using questionnaires to ask about opium use, partly because it can be a sensitive subject in many populations, which may limit the validity of questionnaire responses.
The charge state can be a sensitive indicator of separate SEP populations.
Thus, changes in the prevalence of these alleles can be a sensitive indicator of selection of parasite populations by AL and ASAQ.
Public hospital ED users might, in fact, be a more sensitive population for detecting triggers of asthma in the population, because they might preferentially use ED services rather than physicians' clinics and tend to have less well-controlled asthma (Ortega et al. 2001).
"And you've got growing bodies and brains, so if there is going to be an impact, that's likely to be a more sensitive population than others".
"What the study does indicate is that this is a very sensitive population and that any treatment needs to be done with a lot of forethought and constant reevaluation" said Dr. Bruce J. Kinon, a Lilly psychiatrist.
Most of the time, no single diagnostic will be available, and more complex decision rules will be required to define a sensitive population, using, for instance, mRNA expression, protein expression or DNA copy number.
In most cases, however, a single diagnostic marker is not available, and more complex decision rules will be required to define a sensitive population based upon, for instance, mRNA expression, protein expression or DNA copy number.
There is no standard definition for a sensitive population threshold, so we selected 1% as a nominal value that could be estimated reliably from a sample size of 1,000 individuals, and we defined a toxicodynamic variability factor as 10q50 q01 analogous to a chemical-specific adjustment factor for human toxicodynamic variability.
