HRQoL and healthcare seeking behaviours are likely to vary from country to country, community to community, depending on demographic and socio-cultural factors.
This suggests that tobacco use would vary in various districts of Pakistan depending on demographic and socio-economic profile of the population.
Even when a representative sampling frame is used, some degree of response bias is inevitable depending on demographic and socioeconomic factors, literacy and language constraints, the personal level of interest/relevance of the topic under study, the demands of the survey (length/complexity/sensitive topics), and the mode(s) of contact employed.
Application of our method to suitably designed experiments will allow estimation of how population evolvability depends on demographic and initial fitness parameters.
Metapopulation abundance is largely affected by the architecture of the spatial network, although this effect depends on demographic parameters here represented by the extinction-to-colonization ratio (e/c).
Since the distribution of rMHH and rHH in the neutral genome simulation fitted well to that in the HapMap (Fig. 4), this means that the number of detected regions depends on demographic history rather than on natural selection.
Utilization of primary health services (table 3) appears to depend on demographic variables (13.8%), minimally on need variables (1%) and not at all on socio-economic factors.
These scenarios are not assigned probabilities but, rather, can be deemed as possible futures, which depend on demographic, technological, political, social, and economic developments (Nakicenovic et al. 2000).
Key points The population genetics characteristics of an isolate depend on demographic history and the number of bottlenecks/founding events, total number of founders, levels of endogamy, age and duration of isolation.
The validity of comparing substitution rates between chromosomes to deduce the nature of selection depends on demographic history, an equal sex ratio, and no male- or female-biased mutation.
