Patients’ experiences of Western HealthLinks
Background: Patients with chronic and complex care needs are at risk of fragmented care during the transition from hospital to the community. The Western Health catchment includes a culturally and linguistically diverse population with almost half speaking a language other than English at home. The catchment experiences significant socio-economic disadvantage and increased levels of chronic disease. Improving organisation of care delivery for thi…
Association of weight misperception with weight loss in a diabetes prevention program
Weight misperception should be acknowledged as a factor to be addressed when screening and identifying individuals at risk for diabetes. Screening and giving feedback is important in terms of awareness of participants' actual weight status and may have an effect on program outcomes
Type 2 diabetes prevalence varies by socio-economic status within and between migrant groups
Large socio-cultural differences exist in the distribution of T2DM. Across all socio-economic strata, all migrant groups have higher prevalence of T2DM than the Australian-born population. With increasing migration, this health gap potentially has implications for health service planning and delivery, policy and preventive efforts in Australia
Occupational differences, cardiovascular risk factors and lifestyle habits in South Eastern rural Australia
Previous studies have suggested that farmers have higher risks of cardiovascular disease but this is because the risk has been compared with non-rural populations. In this study, the comparison has been made with other rural occupations. Cardiovascular risk reduction programs are justified for all. Programs tailored only for agricultural workers are unwarranted
The potential for measuring ethnicity and health in a multicultural milieu – the case of type 2 diabetes in Australia
Considerable variation exists in the measurement of ethnicity in Australian health data-sets. While various markers of ethnicity provide complementary information about the ethnic profile within a data-set, non-uniform measurement renders comparison between data-sets difficult. A standardised approach is necessary, and identifying the ethnicity variables that are particularly relevant to the health sector is warranted. Including self-identified e…
Recruitment into diabetes prevention programs
Overall FINDRISC was found to be an effective tool to screen and recruit participants at moderate to high risk of diabetes, accurately categorising levels of overweight and obesity using self-report data. The results could be generalisable to other diabetes prevention programs using screening tools which include self-reported levels of obesity
Implementation salvage experiences from the Melbourne diabetes prevention study
The experiences of conducting such a novel trial as the preliminary Melbourne Diabetes Prevention Study have been invaluable. The lessons learnt and knowledge gained will inform the future execution of this trial in the coming years. We anticipate that these results will also be beneficial to other researchers conducting similar trials in the public health field. We recommend that researchers openly share their experiences, barriers and challenge…
A socio‐historical hypothesis for the diabetes epidemic in Chinese—Preliminary observations from Hong Kong as a natural experiment
It has been hypothesized that the emerging epidemic of diabetes in economically transitioning or recently transitioned populations is due to mismatch between developmental and mature environments. We took advantage of migration within an ethnically homogenous population to investigate this hypothesis, and the potentially modifying role of postnatal growth conditions, proxied by greater height. We used multivariable logistic regression in a popula…
The association of levels of physical activity with metabolic syndrome in rural Australian adults
Some PA is better than none if adults, particularly women, are to reduce their risk of metabolic syndrome and associated vascular diseases. Specialised interventions that take rurality into consideration are recommended for adults who are inactive
Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes by lifestyle intervention in an Australian primary health care setting
This study provides evidence that a type 2 diabetes prevention programme using lifestyle intervention is feasible in primary health care settings, with reductions in risk factors approaching those observed in clinical trials
The relation of chronic cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus to perceived health, and the moderating effects of sex and age
Not Necessarily Better, but Certainly Different
It has recently been demonstrated that exposure to advertising after consumption can change consumers' memory such that they remember tasting a better product. This research investigates whether advertising can change consumers' memory such that they remember tasting a different product. Less familiar consumers who tasted grapefruit juice and then saw advertisements claiming the brand was orange juice were somewhat more likely to remember that th…
Smoking and perceived health in Hong Kong Chinese
Dietary intake and practices in the Hong Kong Chinese population
OBJECTIVES: To examine dietary intake and practices of the adult Hong Kong Chinese population to provide a basis for future public health recommendations with regard to prevention of certain chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and osteoporosis. PARTICIPANTS: Age and sex stratified random sample of the Hong Kong Chinese population aged 25 to 74 years (500 men, 510 women). METHOD: A food frequency method over a one week p…
Trends in blood lead levels in Christchurch (NZ) and environs 1978-85
Blood lead levels have been monitored since 1974 and have shown a significant decrease (p less than 0.001) from 1978 to 1985 in 2830 subjects from Christchurch and environs. From a baseline in August 1978-81 to August 1985 blood lead levels in a population which had no relevant exposure to lead other than that from the general environment have fallen in adult males and females (greater than 17 years) by 42%, and in school and pre-school children …
