Article Abstract
This paper considers a new estimating method for the bent line quantile regression model. By a simple linearization technique, the proposed method can simultaneously obtain the estimates of the regression coefficients and the change-point location. Moreover, it can be readily implemented by current software. Simulation studies demonstrate that the proposed method has good finite sample performance. Two empirical applications are also presented to illustrate the method.

Temporal trends in weight-based disparities in physical fitness of children: 30-years of continuous surveillance through Slovenian national system.
BMC Public Health
October 2024
Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia.
Background: Obesity in childhood has deleterious consequences for health while improving physical fitness can significantly reduce health risks related to high body mass index. We aimed to examine the evolution of disparities in physical fitness based on weight status among 7-15-year-olds in Slovenia between 1989 and 2019 and compare these trends across sex, age and socioeconomic status.
Methods: We used annual data collected within the SLOfit monitoring system in the period between 1989 and 2019, totalling 4,256,930 participants (about 137 000 per year).

Quantile regression, which models the conditional quantiles of the response variable given covariates, usually assumes a linear model. However, this kind of linearity is often unrealistic in real life. One situation where linear quantile regression is not appropriate is when the response variable is piecewise linear but still continuous in covariates.

Background: alpha-Linolenic acid (ALA; 18:3n-3) has been associated inconsistently with an increased risk of prostate cancer. Additional studies have become available since the publication of 2 previous meta-analyses.
Objective: The objective was to review the published data on the relation between ALA and prostate cancer.
