A day or two later, Keats recorded his impressions in a sonnet that invokes death in its very first line: My spirit is too weak — mortality Weighs heavily on me like unwilling sleep, And each imagined pinnacle and steep Of godlike hardship, tells me I must die.
In this study, a lower threshold definition of slums leads to weaker infant mortality effects in the same direction.
This data does not depict any large-scale, widespread epidemic; rather the graph illustrates weak endemic mortality and the mortality peaks are consistent, occurring in the late summer through early fall.
One cohort (Sorahan et al, 1989) followed up male rubber workers from 13 factories during 1946 1985, finding a weak excess mortality from laryngeal cancer (SMR=1.19, on the basis of 33 observed cases).
One U.S. city, however, with conspicuously weak PM-mortality associations was Salt Lake City, Utah; however, relatively robust PM-mortality associations have been observed in a neighboring metropolitan area (Provo/Orem, Utah).
The former had a significantly weaker effect on mortality which may be attributed to its different binding site on the prp2 mRNA (Fig. 1).
The weaker association of mortality with mean skeletal AP might be explained by the multicollinearity between total and skeletal AP.
The increased intensity and duration of heat-waves in Adelaide may explain the weaker associations with mortality we found in Sydney.
Serum glucose concentration was also examined, but it had a much weaker relation with mortality, presumably because serum glucose levels are more easily influenced by short-term factors.
The Fried's scale is moderately well correlated with the Frailty Index [ 69], and shows a stronger association with age and sex (important criteria of construct validity [ 28]) [ 68] but a weaker association with mortality [ 10].
