Health promotion in older people is a relatively new concept in geriatric care, and its importance has increased because of studies reporting that health-related behaviors could decrease the risk of secondary disabilities [ 30, 31].
Such goal is very important because studies reported by Ferreira et al. (2013) show that both criteria should be used in a complementary way, since they can reveal different kind of faults.
This result is important because it contrasts with observations in studies reporting that the C allele was correlated with high IgE levels and T allele with low IgE levels.
The OsISA1 gene sequence (Os08g40930) of Hwacheong and sug-h mutant was primarily compared, because previous studies reported that OsISA1 affected the sugary phenotype in sug-1 rice (Kubo et al. 1999; Nakamura et al. 1992; Nakamura et al. 1996).
Because many studies reported that laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for patients with early gastric cancer was a minimally invasive procedure, and that long-term outcomes were comparable with open distal gastrectomy, laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for patients with early gastric cancer has been widely accepted [8 11].
These muscles were selected for investigation because previous studies reported that patients with TMD tended to develop tenderness in these muscles [ 31, 32].
This may be different to what one might have expected because previous studies reported that the incidence is higher during humid warmer months [ 21, 22].
The incidence of severe PPH was analyzed per province and in the four largest cities because previous studies reported that perinatal outcomes in these cities are inferior to those in the other regions (provinces) of the Netherlands [ 19- 21].
Because several studies reported that the production of IFN-β was required in cell apoptosis induced by TLR3 agonists [ 14, 15], we evaluated the role of type I IFN in poly I C/CHX mediated apoptosis.
Because several studies reported that the physical properties of human skin are influenced by age [ 26, 29], the age effect was used as a covariate in the ANCOVA models for each of the nine skin features.
This is because some studies reported that there is an increased risk of maternal morbidity such as perineal trauma, chorioamnionitis and operative vaginal delivery [ 15] and others reported good perinatal and maternal outcome in the majority of the women provided that no evidence of fetal heartbeat derangement [ 3, 12].
