We defined low, intermediate and high categories of BCS for values lower than 2.5, from 2.5 to 3.5, or higher than 3.5, respectively.
Sex*partner Interaction term Income Categorical: low, middlea, or high Categories were taken from the NPHS, which considers the household income adjusted for the number of household members.
Three clusters of low, medium and high categories were formed using 10 iterations with zero convergence options and satisfying the R2, pseudo F-statistic and cubic clustering criteria.
The Kruskal Wallis H test also showed statistical significant difference (P ≤ 0.05) on the extent of effectiveness of formal institutions, norms and values between low, medium and high categories.
The two groups studied were comparable with regard to the baseline characteristics, but differed significantly with regard to BMI, smoking history and pre-test likelihood of CAD (low and high categories).
In the analysis, triage levels were clustered because of small numbers of patients with levels 1 and 5, to high (categories 1 and 2), middle (category 3) and low (categories 4 and 5).
But the number of kids with borderline high blood pressure remained steady, and when the borderline and high categories were lumped together, these too were steady from 1999 to 2012.
Low and high categories of threat and efficacy were determined by the median values of these two variables, respectively.
Examining the patterns in this table suggests that high categories of smoking duration found in our study are more influential than high categories of intensity.
That is, the "medium" and "high" categories were measured using the full list of 16 functionalities.
Medium and high categories were merged to give binary categories of low SES or otherwise.
