For example, genetic correlations of life history traits in Geranium changed from generally negative in the early juvenile stage to strongly positive in the adult [ 48].
While positive genetic correlations of life history traits between environments indicate similar responses to selection, the altered selective gradient imposed by infection shows that responses of vital fitness components can change unpredictably in changing environments.
In addition, a linear damage summation method, comprising both creep and fatigue damage, is considered to provide a good correlation of measured life with predicted life.
Understanding the causes of the variability and correlations of life-history traits requires the analysis of the rate of resource uptake, which depends both on the amount of resources in the environment and on the activity of enzymes involved in the uptake.
Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was used to express the correlation between quality of life scores, ABPI, type of intervention and age.
In mock-inoculated plants, biomass showed a positive correlation with length of life cycle, while seed weight showed a negative correlation (r>0.68, P<0.004 for biomass, r>−0.62, P<0.011 for seed weight).
To assess the correlation between quality of life (QoL) and satisfaction with life (SL) in SLE patients and correlate both with clinical symptoms of the disease.
The coping strategy religion, in contrast, showed high correlations with connectedness, strength, and faith (>.70), moderate correlations with meaning of life and wholeness (>.40), and small to moderate correlations with awe, inner peace, and hope (>.20).
The correlations between quality-of-life scores and cough frequency were good suggesting that cough frequency has an impact on the patient's quality of life even though other elements are most likely to influence the quality-of- life scores.
"The correlation of quality of life and cost of energy is huge.
