Urinary sodium excretion and dietary sources of sodium intake in community-dwelling Chinese adults aged 50 years and over
Objective: This study examined Na intake and identified the major food sources of Na in healthy Chinese adults aged ≥50 years in Hong Kong. Design: Participants who completed a baseline assessment of a randomised controlled trial assessing the effectiveness of exercise and nutrition supplementation on improving physical and cognitive functions were included. A single 24-h urine sample and a 3-d diet record were used to measure urinary Na excretio…
Longitudinal Association of Built Environment Pattern with Physical Activity in a Community-Based Cohort of Elderly Hong Kong Chinese
A large number of studies have focused on the associations between single built environment (BE) characteristics and physical activity (PA). Combinations of BE characteristics offer a more comprehensive approach to identify the BE-PA associations. We aimed to examine the BE-PA associations in a cohort of elderly Hong Kong Chinese. Between 2001 and 2003, 3944 participants (65-98 years of age) were recruited and followed for a mean of 7.8 years. BE…
Socioeconomic Inequalities in Frailty in Hong Kong, China
The prevalence of frailty varies among socioeconomic groups. However, longitudinal data for the association between subjective social status and frailty is limited. In this study, we examined whether subjective social status was associated with incident frailty. Data were obtained from a 14-year cohort of Chinese men and women (N = 694) aged 65 years and older who participated in the MrOs study-a longitudinal study on osteoporosis and general hea…
Does subjective social status predict depressive symptoms in Chinese elderly? A longitudinal study from Hong Kong
Background Subjective social status (SSS), one’s self-perceived social status, has been gaining interest among researchers as a risk/protective factor of many health outcomes. SSS encompasses both socio-economic factors (eg, income) and intangible aspects of status (eg, esteem from peers). This study’s main objective was to examine the association between SSS and future risk of depression in elderly Chinese. Methods Using data from the ongoing Mr…
Frailty and Its Contributory Factors in Older Adults
This study aimed to compare the prevalence of frailty across three Chinese populations: Hong Kong, Taiwan-urban and Taiwan-rural. Contributing factors to disparities in frailty were also examined. Data were derived from the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (MrOs) and Women (MsOs) (Hong Kong) Study ( n = 4000) and the Taiwan Longitudinal Study on Aging ( n = 2392). Frailty was defined as an index calculated from 30 multiple deficits. The ratio of the…
