In addition, models for cardiovascular mortality were stratified by BMI (above/below median value) to evaluate potential effect modification by BMI.
None of the models evaluating potential effect modification were significant at a p-value of <0.1.
We investigated associations of officially recorded crime and perceived neighbourhood safety with physical health, evaluating potential effect modification by gender.
In addition to doing detailed adjustment for individual-level confounders and evaluating potential effect modification, we also adjusted for a community-level measure of SES to help account for confounding (Marmot 2001).
We hypothesized that urine and blood cadmium levels would be associated with increased all-cause and CVD mortality, with an interest in evaluating potential effect modification by sex and smoking status.
In our study we specifically accounted for reverse causation by evaluating potential effect modification by NAFLD, alcohol consumption, and smoking as important independent risk factors for HCC in populations with a low prevalence of hepatitis infection (21).
However, to date, no study has evaluated the potential effect of AXOS on metabolic disorders in a model of obesity pre-established upon western diet feeding, in relationship with gut microbiota modulation.
Judge Marilyn Hall Patel of Federal District Court in San Francisco has ruled that the United States Defense Department violated the National Historic Preservation Act by failing to evaluate the potential effect of a planned United States air base in Okinawa on a recognized Japanese national treasure — a big, slow-moving aquatic mammal called the dugong — and ordered it to do so.
We simulate four different counterfactual scenarios to evaluate the potential effect of alternative policy designs on multidimensional poverty.
This also allowed us to evaluate the potential effect of climate change on the in situ persistence of the rice CWRs.
To further evaluate this potential effect, a 30-day, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, and randomized clinical trial was conducted with research participants who were current heavy smokers.
