[Intermediate Grammar question] "As A increases, so does B" - 09-09-2008, 11:18 AM

Any chance I could stretch someone's brain?

I want to use the sentance form "as A increases, so does B"

I want to say "Pathogenicity increases with susceptibility", and thought the above pattern would be suitable.. Only I forgot it and its not in my notes. It would be damn useful if I ever want to explain any of the science I work on to people.

Would it be something like this that you're trying to remember?

Aが増加(増大)するにつれBも増加(増大)する

That fits the bill perfectly, thanks

Its not a phrase I've used in conversation before, and not an awful lot in writing, so it still hasn't stuck in my head yet. I'll make sure to write it somewhere I can review it.

Thanks again!
