The social gradients observed at T2 are the combined result of the absolute prevalence of risk at T1, shown in Table 1, and the development and persistence of risk within the time range from T1 to T2.
Depending on the type and persistence of risks, the behavioural responses to short and long pulses of risk vary and include shifts of feeding effort to either safe periods (the predation risk allocation hypothesis [ 9]) or safe habitats [ 10- 12].
We report the results of data mapping and cluster detection (identifying areas of excess risk) including evaluating the temporal persistence of excess risk and the local conditions with which high counts are statistically associated.
The persistence of the risk premium means that Ahmadinejad, whatever his religious or nationalist inspiration, has an economic incentive to say confrontational things that spook the oil market.
The duration of the prophylaxis should take into account the persistence of thromboembolic risk factors and the recovery of mobility and weight bearing (at least 10 20 kg).

On the whole, given the persistence of many risk factors, there is concern that infection levels may return to their previous levels.
Neighborhood environment has been linked to health behaviors in many studies (20) and may contribute to the development and persistence of established risk factors.
The persistence of excess risk of cardiovascular and CHD mortality associated with gout in the pooled multivariate analysis, even after adjustment for traditional vascular risk factors, would suggest there are other important factors which influence this relationship.
The high frequency of third-party initiation in drug injection, the persistence of at risk behaviours, the lack of awareness of HCV serostatus, and the extreme social vulnerability facilitate HCV transmission, particularly for the youngest and most recent DUs.
