Country-specific key lifestyle factors and health outcomes for resource allocation in the general population
Background: We aimed to identify the central lifestyle, the most impactful among lifestyle factor clusters; the central health outcome, the most impactful among health outcome clusters; and the bridge lifestyle, the most strongly connected to health outcome clusters, across 29 countries to optimise resource allocation for local holistic health improvements. Methods: From July 2020 to August 2021, we surveyed 16 461 adults across 29 countries who …
Individuals’ positive gains from the Covid-19 pandemic
Background: Given the limited understanding of individuals' positive gains, this study aimed to identify these gains that could be leveraged by policymakers to enhance future health and societal resilience. Methods: We used a global qualitative approach to survey adults over 18 from 30 countries across six World Health Organization (WHO) regions, who detailed up to three personal positive gains from COVID-19 pandemic via an open-ended question. I…
Key lifestyles and health outcomes across 16 prevalent chronic diseases
Background: Central and bridge nodes can drive significant overall improvements within their respective networks. We aimed to identify them in 16 prevalent chronic diseases during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic to guide effective intervention strategies and appropriate resource allocation for most significant holistic lifestyle and health improvements. Methods: We surveyed 16 512 adults from July 2020 to August 2021 in 30 territ…
Fear in general populations
Background: In this study, we assessed the general population's fears towards various diseases and events, aiming to inform public health strategies that balance health-seeking behaviours. Methods: We surveyed adults from 30 countries across all World Health Organization (WHO) regions between July 2020 and August 2021. Participants rated their fear of 11 factors on an 11-point Likert scale. We stratified the data by age and gender and examined va…
Key lifestyles and interim health outcomes for effective interventions in general populations
Background: The interconnected nature of lifestyles and interim health outcomes implies the presence of the central lifestyle, central interim health outcome and bridge lifestyle, which are yet to be determined. Modifying these factors holds immense potential for substantial positive changes across all aspects of health and lifestyles. We aimed to identify these factors from a pool of 18 lifestyle factors and 13 interim health outcomes while inve…
Global impacts of Covid-19 on lifestyles and health and preparation preferences
Background: The health area being greatest impacted by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and residents' perspective to better prepare for future pandemic remain unknown. We aimed to assess and make cross-country and cross-region comparisons of the global impacts of COVID-19 and preparation preferences of pandemic. Methods: We recruited adults in 30 countries covering all World Health Organization (WHO) regions from July 2020 to August 2021. 5 L…
Factors associated with breast-feeding initiation and continuation in Canadian-born and non-Canadian-born women
Objective: To identify factors associated with breast-feeding initiation and continuation in Canadian-born and non-Canadian-born women. Design: Prospective cohort of mothers and infants born from 2008 to 2012: the Canadian Healthy Infant Longitudinal Development (CHILD) Cohort Study. Setting: General community setting in four Canadian provinces. Participants: In total, 3455 pregnant women from Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Toronto between 200…
Practices, predictors and consequences of expressed breast-milk feeding in healthy full-term infants
Objective To investigate the prevalence and predictors of expressed breast-milk feeding in healthy full-term infants and its association with total duration of breast-milk feeding. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting In-patient postnatal units of four public hospitals in Hong Kong. Subjects A total of 2450 mother–infant pairs were recruited in 2006–2007 and 2011–2012 and followed up prospectively for 12 months or until breast-milk feeding ha…
Effect of a hospital policy of not accepting free infant formula on in-hospital formula supplementation rates and breast-feeding duration
Objective To investigate the effect of public hospitals in Hong Kong not accepting free infant formula from manufacturers on in-hospital formula supplementation rates and breast-feeding duration. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting In-patient postnatal units of four public hospitals in Hong Kong. Subjects Two cohorts of breast-feeding mother–infant pairs ( n 2560). Cohort 1 ( n 1320) was recruited before implementation of the policy to stop …
Factors Associated with Breastfeeding Duration and Exclusivity in Mothers Returning to Paid Employment Postpartum
Determinants of 2009 A/H1N1 Influenza Vaccination Among Pregnant Women in Hong Kong
During the 2009–2010 A/H1N1 influenza pandemic, pregnant women infected with the virus experienced excess morbidity and mortality when compared with other groups. Once a vaccine was available, pregnant women were a priority group for vaccination. Only a few studies have reported on the uptake of 2009 A/H1N1 influenza vaccine among pregnant women during the pandemic and none were from Asia. The purpose of this study was to examine factors associat…
O1-5.3 The role of milk and dairy products in childhood obesity
Introduction Observational studies, mainly from western populations, suggest that dairy product consumption is inversely associated with adiposity. However, in such populations, there is a limited range of dairy product intake while dietary intake and obesity share social patterning making evidence from non-western developed settings valuable in distinguishing whether the observed associations are biologically mediated or socially confounded. Met…
