This analysis further finds the rate of tree canopy loss to be significantly associated with the rate of increase in EHEs over time, when controlling for metropolitan population size and growth rate (r = 0.30; p < 0.05).
Together, the commonly-cited characteristics of geography (e.g., rural, metropolitan) and size, in combination with the predictors of job satisfaction, present a wide range of dimensions of primary health care practices.
Because our interest is in measuring the influence of the spatial pattern of urban development on EHEs rather than population characteristics, we controlled for the influence of metropolitan population size in 2000 and the rate of metropolitan population growth since 1950 on trends in EHEs through the derivation of partial correlation coefficients.
It may not seem surprising for a metropolitan area the size of South Florida to have a thriving rock scene.
Relative to the region's size, metropolitan New York has relatively little entrepreneurial activity, said Rob D. Atkinson, one of the study's authors.
Metropolitan area population size may precede residential segregation on the causal pathway affecting the distribution of land cover.
