A global scale Covid-19 variants time-series analysis across 48 countries
Background: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is slowing down, and countries are discussing whether preventive measures have remained effective or not. This study aimed to investigate a particular property of the trend of COVID-19 that existed and if its variants of concern were cointegrated, determining its possible transformation into an endemic. Methods: Biweekly expected new cases by variants of COVID-19 for 48 countries from 02 May…
A population-based study on healthcare-seeking behaviour of persons with symptoms of respiratory and gastrointestinal-related infections in Hong Kong
Healthcare-seeking behaviour were different by symptoms and age. Characterization of these patterns provides crucial parameters for estimating the full burden of common infectious diseases from facility-based surveillance system, for planning and allocation of healthcare resources
P1-372 An age-period-cohort analysis of mortality associated with bacterial diseases in Hong kong
Introduction We aim to investigate longitudinal trends in bacterial disease related mortality in HK in order to describe how socio-economic transition affects mortality due to infections and to provide generalised aetiological insights. We use one of the major bacterial disease related death, septicaemia, as an exemplar. Methods We used local data on mortality due to septicaemia and mid-year population figures (1976–2005). We fitted Poisson age-p…
Understanding sociohistorical imprint on cancer risk by age–period–cohort decomposition in Hong Kong
BACKGROUND: Research on trends in cancer incidence has usually examined single sites in populations that long ago completed the economic transition. The trends in 11 cancers in three groups in the recently transitioned Hong Kong Chinese population were examined to delineate the effects of economic transition and provide generalised aetiological insights. METHODS: Sex-specific Poisson models were fitted to cancer incidence in Hong Kong (1974-2003)…
A multilevel analysis of the effects of neighbourhood income inequality on individual self-rated health in Hong Kong
Non-attendance and effective equity of access at four public specialist outpatient centers in Hong Kong
The ecology of health care in Hong Kong
Waiting Time, Doctor Shopping, and Nonattendance at Specialist Outpatient Clinics
OBJECTIVE: Nonattendance is a major health services research and management issue that has received little attention or systematic study in Asia. We examined the independent associations between waiting time, doctor shopping, and nonattendance in specialist outpatient clinics of 4 large public hospitals in Hong Kong. RESEARCH DESIGN: Case-control study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: A total of 6495 attenders and nonattenders enrolled from July 2000 t…
Morphological changes related to the climateric period of the adult Cuban women
The aim of the present study is to analyze the morphologic changes occurring along the period of a woman's life thatareknown as climacterium. Our sample consists of 648 women from different provinces of Cuba, but who lived in Havana for at least 15 years. Morphological variables such as height, weight, biliocristal and biachromial diameters and six subcutaneous fat skinfolds were measured. With regard to the menopausic condition, the sample was d…
Fat distribution in Cuban infants
Fatness and relative fat distribution of 505 infants from the city of Havana were identified by principal components analysis of four skinfolds. The first principal component accounts for 59–62% of the variance and represents overall fatness; the other components contrast trunk‐extremity and upper‐lower body fat. Principal component scores were also correlated with different anthropometric variables. Estimated fat areas and an energy/protein inde…
