| Abstract: |
| To provide information on (a) Variation in breast milk concentrations of dioxin like compounds (international toxic equivalents) in a representative sample of primaparous nursing mothers recruited in several districts of the SAR. (b) The analyses will be supported by information on past geographical place of residence, usual dietary preferences and intake and other lifestyle factors. (c) Comparison will be made with comparable data from the Asia Pacific region and other data from both the east and west, industrialised and rural areas. (d) An estimate will be made of the contribution which is made to total dioxin intake in the first year of life for an average breast fed infant in Hong Kong. |

| Abstract: |
| Obesity is an emerging epidemic in China. The environment we live has a profound influence on our behaviour, yet the contextual features of the physical activity and dietary environment have largely been neglected. Changing current obesogenic behaviour, particularly in those with chronic disease, relies very much on understanding more about how the individual, the family, the school, the neighbourhood and urban form, as well as commercial, cultural and social practices of a society interact to mould behavioural choices. Serveral interdisciplinary groups who have an interest in investigating various aspects of the obesogenic environment and its interaction with chronic disease are formed. |

(hypothesis testing); to establish a set of epidemiologic threshold parameters beyond which screening should be re-evaluated over time. (threshold analysis); to provide public health guidance on population-based mammorgarphy screening for Hong Kong and other populations with low breast cancer incidence. |

| Abstract: |
| To use a representative sample of the local population in order to obtain a series of valuations of health states that are locally relevant and are based on the SF36 HK; to use these valuations to derive a model which will predict the value for each health state described by the SF36 HK and which will be of immense benefit in Hong Kong; to compare the final model results with a similar model already derived for the UK population in order to identify any systematic differences in valuations between the two populations which will be a large step forward in determining the feasibility of a global measure for comparisons between populations. |

| To determine changes in clinically significant parameters including blood pressure and indices of obesity resulting from the introduction of the physical activity intervention; to determine which factors contribute to engagement in physical activity for each of the programs; to determine the effectiveness and durability of the introduction of both a "buddy" system and the feedback effect of pedometers on physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness changes over 12 months of intensive intervention; to further develop our understanding of the relationship between physical activity and chronic disorders in the local elderly population; to explore the relationship between the different measures of physical activity in the local population; to determine the cost-effectiveness of these two intervention programs. |
