Body weight was the most important predictor and determinant of total and cortical bone density and strength in healthy adolescent girls.
Several authors also note that the quantitative measurement of HPV DNA, as an evolutional predictor or determinant of disease severity, is of greater value than a single HPV positive result.
Menarche, calcium intake, height, body mass index, and weight-bearing physical activity and age were also identified as minor but significant predictors and determinants of bone density and strength.
Regardless of the results obtained from the model, it should be explained that accurate predictors or determinants of a dependent variable cannot be reliably identified by a cross-sectional study because predictors must be identified based on cohort studies [2, 3].
Finding predictors or determinants of quality of reporting of RCTs could guide the triage of articles that are worthwhile for busy clinicians who act as peer-reviewers.
Alternatively, maybe parity and birth spacing are not among the best predictors or determinants of modern postpartum contraception use in family planning.
Most predictors or determinants we have found in our study are consistent with those described in these studies: emergent surgery, advanced age, peripheral vascular occlusive disease, and high-risk surgery.
Risk, the probability of violence, might be expected to predict length of stay but to our knowledge risk assessment instruments have not been studied as predictors or determinants of length of stay.
Birth weight is an important determinant and predictor of neonatal and infantile growth and survival, as well as health in childhood and later life.
Hence, sequence similarity between a test PDZ domain and PDZ domains in the training set is a determinant of predictor performance.
