There is a sufficiently large body of documented research investigating the sociodemographic covariates of infant and child mortality.
A large body of literature documents the effects of prenatal exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) on cognitive development of children.
A large body of evidence documents the benefits of physical activity as a component of pulmonary and cardiac rehabilitation in similar clinical populations, which demonstrate improved QOL, functional status, and symptom control including dyspnoea in patients with COPD.
11 18 19 In contrast to patients with congenital heart disease, a large body of literature documents the strongly negative prognostic value of LV hypertrophy in acquired conditions such as essential hypertension and diabetes.
A large body of research documents the co-occurrence of a specific chronic physical condition (e.g., congestive heart failure (CHF), diabetes) and one related to mental health such as depression or anxiety [ 10- 13].
A large body of literature documents the adverse effects of lead exposure and iron deficiency on cognitive function among children (Canfield et al. 2003; Lanphear et al. 2005; Lozoff and Georgieff 2006; McCann and Ames 2007).
A large body of research documents the association between exposure to armed conflict-related traumatic events and negative mental health outcomes such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety [ 1- 4].
Similarly to the BE/ME effect, there is a large body of literature documenting the momentum effect for the German stock market (among others, Schrimpf et al. 2007; Artmann et al. 2012b; Schiereck et al. 1999; Glaser and Weber 2003).
First, there is a large body of evidence documenting that increased iNOS activity is involved in the pathogenesis of ischemia-reperfusion-mediated intestinal injury in a number of model systems [16], [17].
Our findings are also generally consistent with a relatively large body of literature documenting a significant and inverse association of circulating vitamin D concentrations with measurements of glycemia or presence of type 2 DM among non-pregnant women, although the majority of these findings are based on cross-sectional/retrospective data.
