There were 9.2% of individuals belonged to the “Increasing Low” group (blue line) and 6.9% of individuals belonged to the “Increasing High” group (black line). This two groups revealed increasing of SA/DP with different speeds. The “Decreasing” group (green line) contained 7.1% of the individuals with a decrease in SA/DP over time.
