Studies need to be replicated in an independent, similarly powered study, as some inconsistencies were present that could be attributed to the baseline differences in 25(OH D concentrations or blood pressure, or other sources of heterogeneity between the studies.
As stated by Fisher, 23 these contrasting results can be attributed to different baseline BP in the studies, since different population groups (normotensive and varying degrees of hypertension) respond differently to exercise.
Nor could the differences be attributed to other baseline or treatment characteristics such as treatment intensity at the end of therapeutic phlebotomy or the degree of posttreatment SF reduction (Table 4).
In any case, low increases can only partly be attributed to high baseline cortisol values, and the prevalence of RAI in the present study is in accordance with findings reported in the literature [ 6, 7, 9, 10, 13, 15, 22, 23].
A lower percentage of eosinophils among low responders in our study could be attributed to somewhat higher baseline cortisol levels.
As discussed above, the lower radiation-related risk in the heritable group may be attributed to the higher baseline risk for breast cancer due to a germline RB1 mutation.
Hoerling's group suspects the correlation can be attributed to the differences in baseline sea-surface temperatures.
The differences in these scores with Blacks/AA performing poorer relative to Whites may be attributed to several factors including baseline variance, stop socioeconomic status that may impact on timely access to care.
However, the effect size of the improvement was small, and the partial eta2 indicated that only 8%% of the score variation could be attributed to Time (interval between baseline and post-training evaluations).
