But McCormack notes that the new results actually are consistent
with the data from the earlier trial, which had a

Also the trend estimates are estimates
with fairly
wide confidence intervals — and these
intervals are probably under - estimates (based on consistent under - estimation by the Team elsewhere rther than replication of PArker's estimates).
Also, this might have reduced the power to detect relations
with the chosen variables and contributed to the
wider confidence intervals of this group at the youngest and oldest age groups.
