Association of oral health with all-cause and cause-specific mortality in older Chinese adults
Background: Poor oral hygiene is associated with overall wellness, but evidence regarding associations of oral health with all-cause mortality remain inconclusive. We aimed to examine the associations of oral health with all-cause and cause-specific mortality in middle-aged and older Chinese adults. Methods: 28 006 participants were recruited from 2003-2008 and followed up until 2021. Oral health was assessed by face-to-face interview and causes …
What lessons does the Covid-19 pandemic hold for global alcohol policy
box COVID-19 is a ‘syndemic’, its impact exacerbated by existing socioeconomic inequalities that also underpin the global burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs).1 Lockdown measures have changed patterns of alcohol consumption and disrupted the provision of health services for people with NCDs. Moreover, insufficient vaccines and therapeutics, combined with a higher burden of NCDs, mean that some low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) such a…
A life course approach to elucidate the role of adiposity in asthma risk
Background Adiposity is associated with asthma although studies do not usually explore the inter-related role of childhood and adult adiposity in asthma risk using a life course perspective. Methods We conducted a Mendelian randomisation (MR) study using genetic instruments for childhood body mass index (BMI) (n=47 541), childhood obesity (n=29 822) and adult BMI (n=681 725) applied to the UK Biobank (n=401 837), with validation in a genome-wide …
Estradiol concentrations in young healthy US versus Chinese men
OBJECTIVES: The role of estrogens among men has rarely been explicitly considered. We examined differences in total, free, and bioavailable estradiol (Bio E) between young men from the United States (US) and the most economically developed part of China, that is, Hong Kong (HK). METHODS: Cross-sectional analysis was conducted based on 365 young men from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in the US and 299 young Chinese men…
Testosterone concentrations in young healthy us versus Chinese men
BACKGROUND: Previous small studies examining differences in testosterone concentrations by ethnicity found mixed results for Caucasians and Chinese men, which might be confounded by age differences and living standards. The aim of the present study is to examine the differences in total, free, and bioavailable testosterone concentrations between healthy young men from the United States (US) and from the most economically developed part of China, …
Systematic differences among never, occasional and moderate alcohol users in southern China, and its use in alcohol research
BACKGROUND: Western observational studies show moderate alcohol use, compared with never use, positively associated with health. Moderate users differ systematically from others, making these observations vulnerable to confounding. Observations from other contexts may help distinguish whether these associations are confounded. To assess whether southern Chinese would provide a more suitable setting to examine the association of moderate alcohol u…
Pubertal muscle mass and diabetes markers in chinese adolescents
Objectives: Diabetes is common in China despite a relatively nonobese population. We hypothesized that testosterone driven muscle mass acquisition at puberty may be relevant. We examined the associations of testosterone with muscle mass and of muscle mass with fasting glucose in Chinese adolescents. Methods: In 40 adolescents (20 boys and 20 girls, age 12.9 ± 0.1 years) from Hong Kong's “Children of 1997” birth cohort, we used multivariable linea…
SP1-34 Pubertal muscle mass and diabetes markers in Chinese adolescents
Introduction There is an emerging epidemic of diabetes in China despite a relatively non-obese population. Genetics and lifestyle undoubtedly play a key role. We hypothesise that environmentally driven muscle mass acquisition at puberty may also be relevant. To test this hypothesis we examined the association of sex-steroids with muscle mass and of muscle mass with fasting glucose and insulin in a sample of Chinese adolescents. Methods In 40 adol…
P1-4 ALDH2 is a valid instrument for mendelian randomisation studies in alcohol epidemiology—the Guangzhou Biobank Cohort Study
Introduction Western observational studies show moderate alcohol use positively associated with many health outcomes. Moderate alcohol users differ systematically from others, making these observations susceptible to residual confounding. A randomised controlled trial of moderate alcohol use is unlikely to be possible. A Mendelian randomisation design using a genetic polymorphism affecting alcohol use ( ALDH2 ) as an instrumental variable offers …
Estimated birth weight and adult cardiovascular risk factors in a developing southern Chinese population
Birth weight may impact blood pressure; however associations of birth weight with other cardiovascular risk factors may not be related to foetal exposures, but speculatively could be an historical co-incidence, with corresponding implications for prevention
