Rates were estimated by study year, standardising by age and sex to the European Standard Population for reference.
This marine, astronomically dated M B boundary age, is supported by the 40Ar/39Ar ages of the Maui lavas at 775.6 ± 1.9 ka (Coe et al. 2004; Singer et al. 2005), amended to 781 783 ka by recent revisions to the reference age of the Fish Canyon Tuff sanidine standards for 40Ar/39Ar geochronology (Kuiper et al. 2008; Renne et al. 2011).
Older patients having an age of greater than 60 years and patients with solitary thyroid enlargement were more affected by malignancy compared to the reference age group, 11 20 years and diffused type of enlargement respectively (AOR: 10.96 (3.15-38.1; AOR: 8.82 (3.49-22.32) respectively).

A small minority of respondents (3%) reported partner ages that differed from the reference age by more than 10 years.
Lipid levels were defined according to the reference by age and gender in adolescents [ 16, 17].
We calculated odds ratios (ORs; relative risk estimates) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and P values by conditional logistic regression methods, with matched sets defined jointly by reference age (< 39, 40 to 44, 45 to 49, 50 to 54, 55 to 59, 60 to 64, 65 to 69, and 70+ years), and specific Asian ethnicity (Chinese, Japanese, Filipino).
Adjustment for confounding by reference age, verified history of breast cancer in first-degree relatives, education, country of birth, state, marital status, BMI, height, age at menarche, number of live births, and use of oral contraceptives was made as in previously published case control analyses (McCredie et al, 1998; Hopper et al, 1999).
Table 3 and Figure 1 shows the decrease in the mean BMD with increasing age by the reference groups.
Compared with all the STEC O157 strains in children <16 years of age typed by the reference laboratories, PT2 and PT21/28 strains were overrepresented in the patients with HUS, suggesting that these strains might have specific virulence in the children.
