Physical activity in relation to risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among Chinese adults: An 11-year prospective study
Physical activity is inversely associated with incident COPD risk in smoking men but not in women or non-smoking men
Interactive effects of body mass index and physical activity on sleep quality in nursing students
The prevalence of sleep disorders in nursing students is relatively high. BMI and physical activity interact and are both significant influencing factors. Thus, comprehensive interventions targeting BMI and physical activity should be emphasized in nursing students' health management to improve their sleep quality and overall well-being
The COPD risk associated with adulthood weight change and early adulthood BMI: A prospective cohort study
Gaps concerning general adiposity and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are delaying policies for weight interventions in COPD prevention, especially adiposity in early adulthood and weight changes during adulthood. Based on the China Kadoorie Biobank, a prospective cohort between 2004–2008 covering 5 urban and 5 rural areas, we included 138,764 males and 194,159 females aged 35 ~ 70 years. Weight change was defined as the difference b…
Sleep quality and incidence of diabetes in 0.5 million Chinese adults
Poor sleep quality is comparable to traditional risk factors for diabetes. This study evaluated the association between sleep quality index (SQI) and the risk of diabetes incidence in China. We used data from the China Kadoorie Biobank, comprising 462,743 participants aged 30 to 79 years without diabetes at baseline, who were recruited between 2004 and 2008 from ten diverse regions across China. We developed a SQI to assess sleep quality, based o…
Adverse Childhood Experiences and Antenatal Depression: The Mediating Role of Social Support
The findings of this study suggest that ACEs have a pervasive impact on antenatal depression. Early intervention to prevent ACEs as well as improvements to the availability of social support for pregnant women should be provided to prevent antenatal depression, which will in turn improve fetal growth and development

Methods: The China Kadoorie Biobank collected intake frequency of preserved vegetables among 510 143 adults without self-reported cancer during 2004-2008, and followed up till 31 De…
Association between sleep behaviors and stroke in Southwest China: A prospective cohort study
There exists the male-predisposing association between sleep-evaluating score and the risk of stroke in Southwest China. Improving sleep is required for reducing the risk of stroke
Association between socioeconomic status and risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in China: A prospective cohort study
This prospective study suggests that SES is associated with the risk of COPD in Chinese adults. Population-based COPD prevention strategies tailored for people with different SES could help reduce the burden of COPD in Chinese
Methods and participant characteristics in the Cancer Risk in Vegetarians Consortium: A cross-sectional analysis across 11 prospective studies
Food intakes and lifestyle factors of both non-vegetarians and vegetarians varied markedly across the individual cohorts, which may be due to differences in both culture and socioeconomic status, as well as differences in questionnaire design. Therefore, care is needed in the interpretation of the impacts of vegetarian diets on cancer risk

Educational disparities in ischaemic heart disease among 0.5 million Chinese adults: A cohort study
Background The relationship between educational attainment and ischaemic heart disease (IHD) is limited in evidence in middle-income countries like China. Exploring lifestyle-related mediators, which might be not universal between socioeconomic status and health outcomes in diverse regions, can contribute to interventions targeted at the Chinese to narrow the educational gap in IHD. Methods Based on the China Kadoorie Biobank of 489 594 participa…
Aging in China: Perspectives on public health
Frailty index and all-cause and cause-specific mortality in Chinese adults: A prospective cohort study
BackgroundThe fraily index is a useful proxy measure of accelerated biological ageing and in estimating all-cause and cause-specific mortality in older individuals in European and US populations. However, the predictive value of the frailty index in other populations outside of Europe and the USA and in adults younger than 50 years is unknown. We aimed to examine the association between the frailty index and mortality in a population of Chinese a…
The Paradox Association between Smoking and Blood Pressure among Half Million Chinese People
Background : The association between smoking and blood pressure (BP) has been explored extensively, yet the results remain inconclusive. Using real-world evidence of a large Chinese population, we examine the effect of smoking on BP levels. Methods : We utilize half a million adults from the China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) study with baseline sampling collected between 2004 and 2008. Multivariable linear regression analyses are used to estimate line…
Patterns and trends of alcohol consumption in rural and urban areas of China: Findings from the China Kadoorie Biobank
Among Chinese men, the proportion of drinkers engaging in harmful drinking behaviours increased in the past decade, particularly among younger men. Harmful drinking patterns tended to cluster with other unhealthy lifestyles and health-related risk factors
Association between multiple comorbidities and self-rated health status in middle-aged and elderly Chinese: The China Kadoorie Biobank study
Various diseases were major determinants of global and age-comparative SRH, and cardiometabolic diseases had the strongest impact on both global SRH and age-comparative SRH at the population level. Prevention measures concentrated on these conditions would greatly reduce the total burden of poor SRH and its consequences such as poor quality of life and use of health care services
Diabetes, plasma glucose and incidence of colorectal cancer in Chinese adults: A prospective study of 0.5 million people
Background Diabetes is associated with higher risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Uncertainty remains about the relevance of duration of diabetes and about the association of blood glucose with CRC risk among individuals without diabetes. Methods The prospective China Kadoorie Biobank recruited 512 713 participants in 2004–2008 from 10 diverse areas in China. After 10 years of follow-up, 3024 incident cases of CRC (1745 colon, 1716 rectal) were reco…
The association of cigarette smoking and alcohol drinking with body mass index: A cross-sectional, population-based study among Chinese adult male twins
Cigarette smoking was negatively associated with BMI independent of genetic influences. The influence of genes on BMI was moderated by alcohol drinking, such that for individuals who were regular drinkers, genetic factors became less influential. Our findings highlight gene-alcohol interaction in finding candidate genes of BMI and elucidating the etiological factors of obesity
Korean exchange rate and FTAs under the Roh Moo-hyun administration
The Korean government’s engagement in FTAs since the late 1990s has been enthusiastic. As of 2012, the Korean government concluded FTAs with small trading partners such as Chile, Singapore, EFTA, ASEAN, India, Peru, and Turkey, and major counterparts such as the European Union (EU) and the United States as well. However, the degree of each of the Korean administrations ’ engagement in FTAs has shown discernible differences: While the Kim Dae-jung…
Patterns and socio-demographic correlates of domain-specific physical activities and their associations with adiposity in the China Kadoorie Biobank study

P2-116 Adiposity and its contribution to individual and regional differences in blood pressure: The Kadoorie Biobank Study of 0.5 million people in China
Introduction Raised blood pressure (BP) is a leading cause of premature death in China, but its determinants are not well understood. One likely determinant, adiposity, is increasing rapidly in much of China. We assessed the extent to which differences in BP can be accounted for by differences in body mass index (BMI) and in waist circumference (WC). Methods We examined cross-sectional data from >510 000 adults aged 30–79 recruited from five rura…
