A Pew poll asked respondents about a series of negative benchmarks often associated with aging: illness, memory loss, an inability to drive, an end to sexual activity, a struggle with loneliness and depression, and difficulty paying bills.
These benchmarks are associated with high level protection from clinical illness resulting from influenza infection.
Researchers examined multiple cohorts of eighth-grade students whose EXPLORE (a test administered by ACT) scores were more than one standard deviation below benchmark scores associated with being on-track.
The current standard NTP bioassay provides sufficient data to estimate a benchmark dose associated with a specified low tumor incidence to be used as a point-of-departure for cancer risk assessments.
Variations in clinical practices are well known among neonatal communities [ 8]; however, no systematic prospective approach has determined, compared, and benchmarked variations associated with outcomes.
For example, Luebker et al. (2005b) estimated a BMDL5 (lower bound of the benchmark dose associated with a 5% change in response) for PFOS and birth weight in rats of 0.39 mg/kg/day, equivalent to a rat fetal serum concentration of about 34,000 ng/mL.
