The aim of this study was to determine if, after controlling for weight, age is associated with decompression sickness (DCS) in rats.
Following compression-decompression, male rats aged 11 weeks were observed for DCS. After two weeks recovery, surviving rats were re-dived using the same compression-decompression profile.
In this experiment, there was a clear difference between DCS outcome at ages 11 or 13 weeks in matched rats (p = 0.002).
Even with weight included in the model, age was significantly associated with DCS (p = 0.01), yet after removal of weight the association was much stronger (p = 0.002).
We believe that age is likely to be found associated with the probability of DCS in a larger dataset with a wider range of parameters, after accounting for the effect of weight.
本研究的目的是确定在控制体重后,年龄是否与大鼠减压病(DCS)相关。
在压缩-减压后,观察11周龄雄性大鼠是否患减压病。恢复两周后,对存活的大鼠使用相同的压缩-减压方案再次进行潜水。
在本实验中,匹配大鼠中11周龄和13周龄时减压病的结果存在明显差异(p = 0.002)。
即使在模型中纳入了体重因素,年龄仍与减压病显著相关(p = 0.01),但去除体重因素后,这种关联更强(p = 0.002)。
我们认为,在考虑体重影响后,在参数范围更广的更大数据集中,可能会发现年龄与减压病的发生概率相关。
