Sample weights were used for all analyses (and reported percentages) except tests for trend and the Spearman correlation.
All analyses were conducted by using SAS 9.3 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA) except χ tests for trend, which were calculated by using Epi Info 2000 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA, USA).
A vegetarian dietary pattern was associated with significantly lower means for all MRFs except HDL (P for trend < 0.001 for those factors) and a lower risk of having MetS (OR 0.44, 95% CI 0.30 0.64, P < 0.001) when compared with a nonvegetarian dietary pattern.
For categorical variables, we used a test-for-trend analysis, except for race and parity which were treated as nominal variables.
Except for oestrone, tests for trend were no longer statistically significant.
In addition, flexibility was significantly associated with these parameters (P < 0.0001 for trend), except for HbA1c (P = 0.003) and hs-CRP (P = 0.041; data not shown).
These multivariate relative risks tended to increase with increasing duration of use among those with hypertension (P<0.05 for trend) except for β blockers and non-losartan angiotensin II receptor blockers (table 3).
There were no differential benefits regarding clinical symptoms except for one trend group effect for general psychopathology.
Concentrations of endocannabinoids AEA and 2-AG in fat tissue were largely comparable, except for a trend towards higher AEA in formerly overfed animals at age 100d (3 > 6 > 10, p = 0.08).
AS602868 treatment did also not markedly alter the proportions and total numbers of peripheral CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in the spleen, except for a trend towards decreased total cell numbers of both cell types (Figure S6E).
