For example, when combined with smoking and/or psychological distress, an overweight individual had costs that were approximately CAD$2000 greater over 11.5 years than did a matched normal weight individual with no other risk-factors present at baseline.
Similarly, an obese individual with other lifestyle risk-factors present had between CAD$2,700 to CAD$7,000 higher costs over 11.5 years than did a matched normal weight individual with no other risk-factors present at baseline (Table 4).
Similarly, in AD patients, Mg2+ concentrations in the brain seem to be significantly lower when compared with age-matched normal individuals.
Genetic screening was directed towards four different groups of population: 50 selected patients with ASD or autistic features, their parents, 50 ethnically matched normal controls, and 80 normal individuals having children with syndromic or nonsyndromic mental retardation, developmental delay, or rare neurological syndromes.
Twenty age- and sex-matched normal individuals constituted the control group.
The authors investigated the differences in cognitive function, medical burden, and sociodemographic characteristics between elderly community-dwelling bipolar patients and age-matched and education-matched normal individuals.
Consenting fibrocyte donors were 19 patients with asthma well controlled by current treatment, 16 patients with treatment-resistant asthma, 9 patients with transiently uncontrolled asthma and 14 age-matched normal individuals.
Consenting fibrocyte donors were 19 patients with asthma well controlled by current treatment [18], 16 patients with treatment-resistant asthma [18], 9 patients with transiently uncontrolled asthma because of an allergen-induced exacerbation [16], and 14 age-matched normal individuals [16].
In comparison with matched normal adult subjects, DS individuals showed greater range of motion at the trunk while keeping the elbow stiff.
Unfortunately, matched normal DNA from the individuals whose tumors were optically mapped was not available.
