Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Seventy-three of 77 adult Singapore-born Chinese (95%) and 48 of 49 Canadian-born adult Chinese (98%) were demonstrated to be lactase deficient using the lactose breath hydrogen test. The similar prevalence of lactase deficiency in the Singapore- and the Canadian-born Chinese despite a larger estimated amount of daily milk ingestion in the Canadian-born Chinese (430 ml vs 157 ml) supports the concept that lactase deficiency, which is transmitted genetically, does not have an adaptable component related to the quantity of lactose ingested. When the lactose breath hydrogen test performed with a dose of 0.5 g/kg of lactose was compared with the test using a standard dose of 50 g of lactose, there was very little loss of sensitivity. In spite of the presence of lactase deficiency, only 32% of the Singapore subjects and 23% of the Canadian subjects had gastrointestinal symptoms when milk was ingested in the daily diet. Peak breath H was higher in females than males, but the difference was more significant in the Canadian cohort. © 1989 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
