The 12 Canadian cities revealed several patterns in the secular trend in associations for NO2, and we considered three different scenarios, as described below.
In addition, we included a day-of-study variable and a squared day-of-study variable in the models to account for secular trends in associations between air pollution and BP (Penttinen et al. 2001).
These cross-sectional data also do not let us investigate the possibility of cohort effects and secular trends in the associations between diabetes severity and CM use.
We investigated the longitudinal trends in standardised NPC incidence/mortality rates across 8 regions and their associations with secular trends in salted fish, vegetable and tobacco consumptions.
This is the first multi-jurisdiction ecological study that examined the associations between secular trends of NPC risk and salted fish consumption per capita.
Since the 2007 NHIS also contained an extensive set of supplemental questions asking about alternative medicine use, we plan longitudinal assessments comparing the 2002 and 2007 NHIS to identify any cohort or secular trends in the associations that are not evident in the cross-sectional analysis.
