Could you check this sentence please?

Hi,

"The study of the relationship between mobility and the incidence of pain revealed that the only statistically significant relationship was seen between mobility and the incidence of shoulder pain, shoulder pain being much less frequent among employees with mobility, particularly on a regular basis."

by "shoulder pain being much less frequent ..." I mean "in the way that shoulder pain is much less frequent...". Does the structure convey this meaning?


Thanks!

" gillyflower Does the structure convey this meaning? Yes. But I think there is a difference between the frequency of shoulder pain and the incidence of it.

  • Yes.

  • Frequency seems to mean how many times a day it strikes an individual, and incidence seems to mean what percentage of the group under consideration ever experience it.
  • There might be a better way of saying what you mean.
