Specifically, measurements were carried out in two adjacent areas located in central Italy with extension of 178 and 242 km2 and over a period of 1 year (35 sampling days) with almost weekly frequency except for the summer period because of soil hardness.
In brief, the SEARCH FFQ is semiquantitative, with ∼85 food lines queried for weekly frequency of consumption for each food item.
All meat consumption variables were analysed categorically, based on approximate quartiles of the distribution of weekly frequency of consumption, with the first quartile used as the reference category.
To evaluate the dietary habits of individuals with severe and frequent GERD symptoms, we created a composite variable including those with moderate to severe symptoms with at least weekly frequency and compared with asymptomatic controls.
Reward sensitivity significantly correlated with the average weekly frequency of purge (r=0.44) but not binge behaviors.
During the 6-month period of OC therapy, the attacks markedly worsened, presenting with an almost weekly frequency.
The primary efficacy end point was the proportion of patients with an average weekly frequency of three or more SCBMs per week (responders) over 12 weeks of treatment.
Ultimately, we decided to quantify an instructor's use of active learning as the weekly frequency with which they used specific active-learning exercises, because this quantification allowed us to capture more variability among instructor methods.
In particular, a dataset combining 3-month long-bills with observations that have a weekly frequency gives rise to overlaps within the sample, which introduce moving-average terms to the residuals.
Anecdotally, many patients experiencing hypoglycemia will describe how episodes tend to occur in clusters with great variation in the weekly frequency.
In this questionnaire, participants are asked to report the average weekly frequency and duration with which they engaged in strenuous, moderate, and light exercise over the past month.
