His serum level of the lighter congeners (0.378 ng/g, compared to the workers mean of 0.230 ng/g, and referent mean of 0.094 ng/g) was the highest measured, however, even though he had not worked with caulking for over a year preceding the time of sampling.
Among the 71 individuals with detectable pVL in at least one sample during the year preceding the present study, a high percentage (71.8%) showed Ag-E and the amounts of Ag-E varied widely among individuals with similar pVL values.

The cumulative life event load in the year preceding the admission was used for analysis.
Of the 1910 Leishmania negative dogs 434 dogs had been in South Europe for some time during the 3 years preceding the blood sampling.
Due to limited sample size, neonatal mortality was calculated for the last ten years preceding the survey, resulting in sample overlaps between estimates for different points in time.
Potential confounders were explored, including age, sex, BMI, SES, mean sleep quality of the night preceding the sampling day, number of undesirable life events in the preceding year and awakening time when baseline cortisol sample was taken.
However, 4,294 women had birth history within the last 5 years preceding the survey and as such they constituted the sample size for this study.
