contents We mainly show that for a conformal metric $g=u^{\frac{4}{n-2m}}|dx|^2$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $n\geq 2m+1$, if the higher order Q-curvature $Q^{(2m)}_g$ is positive and has slow decay barrier near infinity, the lower order Q-curvature $Q^{(2)}_g$ and $Q^{(4)}_g$ are both positive if $m$ is at least two.
