Ageing in an ultra-dense metropolis
Objective The neighbourhood built environment may affect walking behaviour of elders. However, such effects remain underexplored, especially in an Asian context. We examined associations of perceived environmental attributes with overall and neighbourhood-specific walking for transport in a sample of Chinese elders residing in Hong Kong, an ultra-dense Chinese metropolis. Design Cross-sectional observational study using a two-stage stratified sam…
Socioeconomic Status, Neighborhood Characteristics, and Walking Within the Neighborhood Among Older Hong Kong Chinese
Educational attainment rather than area SES is a key determinant of walking in Hong Kong elders; these effects are mostly attributable to social and individual rather than environmental factors
Walking for Recreation and Perceptions of the Neighborhood Environment in Older Chinese Urban Dwellers
Measuring walking within and outside the neighborhood in Chinese elders
The NWQ-CS showed measurement invariance across types of neighborhoods. It is a valid measure of walking for recreation and frequency of walking for transport. However, it may systematically underestimate the duration of walking for transport in samples that engage in high levels of this type of walking
P1-550 Self-rated health and mortality in a prospective Chinese elderly cohort
Background Most previous studies of self-rated health (SRH) and mortality are in western populations and use global SRH. Conceptualisations of health and the cause-composition of mortality may be context specific; we examined the association of SRH with all-cause and cause-specific mortality in a developed non-western population. Methods We used multivariable Cox regression to examine, in 64 189 Chinese people aged 65+ years enrolled at 18 Elderl…
