Health is the closest correlate to height but all these indicators are tied up together.
When possible, researchers should use a close correlate that is less likely to be manipulated, such as electricity consumption or production, as a robustness check to ensure that their findings are not driven by artifacts of political games rather than economic realities.
Indeed, increased fat accumulation in the liver appears to be a marker of hepatic insulin resistance and a close correlate of all components of the metabolic syndrome independent of obesity.
We then tested whether this SNP also affects hepatic insulin clearance, a close correlate of liver insulin sensitivity, using the ratios AUC C-peptide/AUC C-peptide/AUCean C-peptinsulinn insulin during the OGTT andestimeans.
From the F1 mice, heterozygous Guca1a+/COD3 and homozygous Guca1aCOD3/COD3 mutant mice were generated; in this study we present data from both mutant genotypes as the former represents a close correlate to patients with COD3, whilst the latter may provide further insights into the role that mutant GCAP1 plays in causing cone and cone-rod dystrophy.
We then produced multiply adjusted models with and without control for education to evaluate the attenuating role of this close correlate of IQ.
Cognitive performance has been shown to be pivotal for persons' daily activities and its deterioration is considered an important predictor of dementia and a close correlate of worsening health in general [ 8, 11- 14].
There was no significant change in the percentage of girls or boys that used soap during a handwashing demonstration, which, in one study, was shown to be the closest correlate (albeit imperfect and prone to overestimation) with observed behavior among caregivers in Indian households compared with other self-reported indicators.
Taken together, the epidemiological, anatomical and pathological evidence are consistent with the hypothesis that PP development or a close correlate of PP development is a major determinant of the observed age distribution of natural cases of TSEs in sheep, cattle and humans.
