There were six blocks for the gender homogeneous, phonologically homogeneous, gender heterogeneous, phonologically heterogeneous, semantically homogeneous and semantically heterogeneous condition, respectively.
The proband sample of the present study had a homogeneous gender structure due to an absence of age differences between boys and girls and equal gender ratios across centres.
Stratification of the ROM reference group into more homogeneous gender- and age-subsets resulted in a better differentiation of reference values.
This indicates that male users are in general less active in the SNS, but when they interact they tend to create more gender homogeneous groups.
Children do not constitute a homogeneous group: age, gender, ethnicity, and disability introduce diversity and require specific attention (Peek and Stough 2010; Ronoh et al. 2015).
So, while the local clustering coefficient of a user in the overall network indicates the tendency of a user to form transitive relationships in general, the gender-restricted one measures the tendency to form gender homogeneous groups.
The two groups were significantly homogeneous concerning age, gender, side, fracture subtype, and displacement extent before treatment (analysed by Fisher's exact test, respectively, with p = 1, p = 0.595, p = 0.706, p = 0.802, Table 1).
Contrary to findings reported for mobile phone calls [58] and microblogging [57] we did not observe a higher tendency of female users to form gender homogeneous triangles, while we observed a stronger deviation from the expected values in a randomized model for the number of male-only triangles.
This result, in apparent contradiction with the higher homophily observed for women in dyadic relationships, is consistent with studies of offline behavior [34] and of online behavior with respect to profile pictures in SNSs [3] reporting a higher tendency of males to form gender homogeneous groups.
Since the subject population was quite homogeneous, we used gender as the only demographic variable, and considered decision styles as the most important user characteristic.
Both groups (participants with MetS and control subjects) were homogeneous about age, gender, smoking, diabetes and family history for CV diseases.
