All we need to know is that there is some sort of association between narrow money supply and economic activity – and as you can see, the numbers do look quite encouraging.
The association between narrower retinal arteriolar caliber and stroke warrants further investigation.
The 95% confidence intervals in our study were narrow and exclude a substantial association between common variants in the AR gene with breast cancer risk.
Nevertheless, considering the high plausibility and the narrow confidence intervals for the association between Scl and the outcome of interest, we do not believe that this could invalidate our findings.
As this approach may have resulted in arbitrary intervals, which were sometimes quite narrow, smooth plots of the association between exposure and type 2 diabetes resulting from the GAM procedure were also presented for reference.
We also performed an additional multivariable logistic regression analysis to test the association between a narrower early PaCO2 range (between 35 and 45 mmHg) and good neurological function at hospital discharge.
At all measured sites, there was an increase in BMD with increasing severity of disc narrowing while there was no association between severity of osteophytes and BMD.
Wong et al. reported an association between retinal arteriolar narrowing and risk of coronary heart disease [ 30].
Consecutively, an interesting question is the association between joint space narrowing as measured by the Z-Score and the onset of bone erosions.
Sub-group analysis of the MESA cohort also revealed an association between retinal arteriolar narrowing and LV remodelling, lending weight to this argument [ 22].
