(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.

Abstract:

To assess the health consequences, costs, and cost-effectiveness of population-based mammography screening in Hong Kong Chinese women. Our primary hypothesis is that unlike in Western poopulations, mammography screening is nt cost-effective in the local context. However, given the continuing upward trend in the incidence of breast cancer, a parallel aim is to establish a set of epidemiologic threshold parameters beyond which screening should be re-evaluated.

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.

Project Title:	Air pollution in Hong Kong: a pilot economic health impact assessment
Investigator(s):	McGhee SM, Hedley AJ, Wong CM
Department:	Community Medicine
Source(s) of Funding:	Small Project Funding
Start Date:	12/2005

Abstract:

In order to provide information for policy making in the area of air pollution, we must be able to quantify the health impact of reductions in air pollution on the population. In Hong Kong, we have already carried out several rigorous studies (1,2), which have estimated the risks of polluted air on specific aspects of health, in particular cardiovascular and respiratory conditions. The next step is to use these risk data to estimate the potential economic effect on years of life lost by reducing air pollution levels and the resulting monetary value of these years. Estimating the life years lost requires mathematical modelling of the interaction between population demographics and risk from air pollution for which the Institute of Occupational Medicine in Edinburgh, UK have developed unique models. These models can be tailored to reflect the environmental health effects and population demography in Hong Kong. We wish to pilot this approach in Hong Kong and use this pilot project as the basis for an application for further funding of a project which will be submitted for funding to the RGC and will estimate the impact on life years, quality of life and their value. Objectives 1. To calculate the potential gain in life expectancy and life years due to specific reductions in air pollution, phased in over different time periods using models developed by the IOM. 2. To identify the value of these effects on life years in monetary units.

Abstract:

To estimate the detriment in quality of life, healthy life years lost and the use of hospital care for community-based people over 65 years who smoke or have smoked in the past; to use this information to project the future burden on the community in quality-adjusted life years lost and costs of hospital care if present trends in smoking behaviour continue or if they change.

Abstract:

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.

Start Date:	01/2006

Abstract:

The main objectives of this project are: 1/ To investigate the association between aetiological determinants of vascular disease and the presence of atherosclerotic cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease in two genetically similar, but environmentally different populations. 2/ To perform preliminary genetic analyses of established potential genetic markers of vascular disease. 3/ To identify individuals potentially susceptible to the development of stroke and CHD. 4/ To provide a suitable resource for the identification of genetic loci that confer a tendency to develop stroke and among Chinese patients for both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies.
