"A key outstanding question is whether this [reduced risk of disease] is entirely attributable to these specific foods, or whether they are acting as a marker of a broader dietary pattern associated with improved health," said Professor Susan Jebb of the Nuffield department of primary care health sciences, University of Oxford.
Smoking was considered to be a marker of a broader lifestyle, combined with a rejection of an achievement ideology and the adoption of an anti-school orientation.
To increase the utility of markers for broader topics of study, we combined de-novo genome sequencing with a reduced representation sequencing method (restriction site-associated DNA, or RAD) to identify and map SNP polymorphisms isolated from four additional honeycreeper species.
Immunolabeling with Olig2 as a broad marker of the oligodendrocyte lineage also rarely identified cells double labeled with YFP).
Hence, stability, and thus measurement frequency are a function of a patient's assessed insulin sensitivity as a broad marker of their level of wellness and potential variability.
Proteome analysis has revealed many proteins exhibiting strong positive and negative correlation with CSF neopterin which serves as a broad marker of disease severity.
We selected a broad marker of family living conditions, similar to proxies such as car owner-ship or housing tenure in the West, using possession of simple, notable items appropriate to China in the mid-twentieth century, based on sociological accounts of life in southern China at that time [ 24– 26].
Using the compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitude as a broad marker of disease severity, with CMAP amplitude <4 mV a cut-off for more advanced disease (Vucic and Kiernan, 2006 b ), it was evident that the majority of patients with ALS (61%) exhibited less severe disease at the time of testing.
Drinking has been a marker of secular values in the broader society, and at one time army officers who did not drink were looked upon as closet Islamists and found it difficult to secure promotions.
However, a more detailed study based on larger collections of various ryegrass genotypes will be required to confirm the significance of the reported SNP markers for broad-scale applications in ryegrasses.
